[fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end()
A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was
held due to a background request containing a file reference.
Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would
release the superblock. Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and
fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock
results.
The chosen soltuion is to get rid of sbput_sem, and instead use the
spinlock to ensure the referenced inodes/file are released only once.
Since the actual release may sleep, defer these outside the locked
region, but using local variables instead of the structure members.
This is a much more rubust solution.
