fuse: nfs export special lookups
Implement the get_parent export operation by sending a LOOKUP request with
".." as the name.
Implement looking up an inode by node ID after it has been evicted from
the cache. This is done by seding a LOOKUP request with "." as the name
(for all file types, not just directories).
The filesystem can set the FUSE_EXPORT_SUPPORT flag in the INIT reply, to
indicate that it supports these special lookups.
Thanks to John Muir for the original implementation of this feature.
