    Pull fuse updates from Miklos Szeredi:
    
     - Support directly accessing host page cache from virtiofs. This can
       improve I/O performance for various workloads, as well as reducing
       the memory requirement by eliminating double caching. Thanks to Vivek
       Goyal for doing most of the work on this.
    
     - Allow automatic submounting inside virtiofs. This allows unique
       st_dev/ st_ino values to be assigned inside the guest to files
       residing on different filesystems on the host. Thanks to Max Reitz
       for the patches.
    
     - Fix an old use after free bug found by Pradeep P V K.
