Subject: [PATCH] fuse: fix hang of single threaded fuseblk filesystem

Single threaded NTFS-3G could get stuck if a delayed RELEASE reply
triggered a DESTROY request via path_put().

Fix this by

 a) making RELEASE requests synchronous, whenever possible, on fuseblk
 filesystems

 b) if not possible (triggered by an asynchronous read/write) then do
 the path_put() in a separate thread with schedule_work().
