fuse: limit queued background requests
Libfuse basically creates a new thread for each new request. This is fine for
synchronous requests, which are naturally limited. However background
requests (especially writepage) can cause a thread creation storm.
To avoid this, limit the number of background requests available to userspace.
This is done by introducing another queue for background requests, and a
counter for the number of "active" requests, which are currently available for
userspace.
