When writeback cache is enabled, kernel will locally maintain the
attributes, and never trusts any server side attribute changes. This
limitaion is too strict in some use cases. For example, if a file is not
actively wrote from the fuse mount in writeback mode, the writeback related
caches should be clean, and the user may expect to see the new size changed
from the server side. This commit tires to relax the limitation.

If there is no dirty page of an fuse inode, update its ctime, atime and
size even in writeback_cache mode. The page cache cleaness checking is
based on a new fuse writeback helper (fuse_file_is_writeback_locked) and a
mm/filemap helper introduced recently (detials see commit 63135aa3866d
("mm: provide filemap_range_needs_writeback() helper") ).
