If userspace supplies an invalid pointer to a read() of an inotify
instance, the inotify device's event list mutex is unlocked twice.
This causes an unbalance which effectively leaves the data structure
unprotected, and we can trigger oopses by accessing the inotify
instance from different tasks concurrently.
The best fix (contributed largely by Linus) is a total rewrite
of the function in question:

Move fuse_copy_finish() to before calling fuse_notify_poll_wakeup().
This is not a big issue because fuse_notify_poll_wakeup() should be
atomic, but it's cleaner this way, and later uses of notification will
need to be able to finish the copying before performing some actions.

If a fuse filesystem is unmounted but the device file descriptor
remains open and a new mount reuses the old device number, then the
mount fails with EEXIST and the following warning is printed in the
kernel log:
WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:462 sysfs_add_one+0x35/0x3d()
sysfs: duplicate filename '0:15' can not be created
The cause is that the bdi belonging to the fuse filesystem was
destoryed only after the device file was released. Fix this by
calling bdi_destroy() from fuse_put_super() instead.
