fuse: general infrastructure for pages[] of variable size
The patch removes inline array of FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ page pointers from
fuse_req. Instead of that, req->pages may now point either to small inline
array or to an array allocated dynamically.
This essentially means that all callers of fuse_request_alloc[_nofs] should
pass the number of pages needed explicitly.
The patch doesn't make any logic changes.
