fuse: add prune notification

Some fuse servers need to prune their caches, which can only be done if the
kernel's own dentry/inode caches are pruned first to avoid dangling
references.

Add FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE, which takes an array of node ID's to try and get rid
of.  Inodes with active references are skipped.

A similar functionality is already provided by FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY with
the FUSE_EXPIRE_ONLY flag.  Differences in the interface are

FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY:

  - can only prune one dentry

  - dentry is determined by parent ID and name

  - if inode has multiple aliases (cached hard links), then they would have
    to be invalidated individually to be able to get rid of the inode

FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE:

  - can prune multiple inodes

  - inodes determined by their node ID

  - aliases are taken care of automatically
