[PATCH] fuse: add control filesystem

Add a control filesystem to fuse, replacing the attributes currently exported
through sysfs.  An empty directory '/sys/fs/fuse/connections' is still created
in sysfs, and mounting the control filesystem here provides backward
compatibility.

Advantages of the control filesystem over the previous solution:

  - allows the object directory and the attributes to be owned by the
    filesystem owner, hence letting unpriviled users abort the
    filesystem connection

  - does not suffer from module unload race

[akpm@osdl.org: fix this fs for recent dhowells depredations]
[akpm@osdl.org: fix 64-bit printk warnings]
