[PATCH] fuse: clean up request accounting

FUSE allocated most requests from a fixed size pool filled at mount time.
However in some cases (release/forget) non-pool requests were used.  File
locking operations aren't well served by the request pool, since they may
block indefinetly thus exhausting the pool.

This patch removes the request pool and always allocates requests on demand.
