fuse: fix race between concurrent setattrs from multiple nodes

When mounting a user-space filesystem on multiple clients, after
concurrent ->setattr() calls from different node, stale inode
attributes may be cached in some node.

This is caused by fuse_setattr() racing with
fuse_reverse_inval_inode().

When filesystem server receives setattr request, the client node
with valid iattr cached will be required to update the fuse_inode's
attr_version and invalidate the cache by fuse_reverse_inval_inode(),
and at the next call to ->getattr() they will be fetched from user
space.

The race scenario is:
1. client-1 sends setattr (iattr-1) request to server
2. client-1 receives the reply from server
3. before client-1 updates iattr-1 to the cached attributes by
   fuse_change_attributes_common(), server receives another setattr
   (iattr-2) request from client-2
4. server requests client-1 to update the inode attr_version and
   invalidate the cached iattr, and iattr-1 becomes staled
5. client-2 receives the reply from server, and caches iattr-2
6. continue with step 2, client-1 invokes
   fuse_change_attributes_common(), and caches iattr-1

The issue has been observed from concurrent of chmod, chown, or
truncate, which all invoke ->setattr() call.

The solution is to use fuse_inode's attr_version to check whether
the attributes have been modified during the setattr request's
lifetime.  If so, mark the attributes as invalid in the function
fuse_change_attributes_common().
