fuse: allow batching of FORGET requests
Terje Malmedal reports that a fuse filesystem with 32 million inodes on a machine with lots of memory can take up to 30 minutes to process FORGET requests when all those inodes are evicted from the icache. To solve this, create a BATCH_FORGET request that allows up to about 8000 FORGET requests to be sent in a single message. This request is only sent if userspace supports interface version 7.16 or later, otherwise fall back to sending individual FORGET messages.
