    There is a potential race between fuse_dev_do_write()
    and request_wait_answer() contexts as shown below:
    
    TASK 1:
    __fuse_request_send():
      |--spin_lock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
      |--queue_request();
      |--spin_unlock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
      |--request_wait_answer():
           |--if (test_bit(FR_SENT, &req->flags))
           <gets pre-empted after it is validated true>
                                       TASK 2:
                                       fuse_dev_do_write():
                                         |--clears bit FR_SENT,
                                         |--request_end():
                                            |--sets bit FR_FINISHED
                                            |--spin_lock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
                                            |--list_del_init(&req->intr_entry);
                                            |--spin_unlock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
                                            |--fuse_put_request();
           |--queue_interrupt();
           <request gets queued to interrupts list>
                |--wake_up_locked(&fiq->waitq);
           |--wait_event_freezable();
           <as FR_FINISHED is set, it returns and then
           the caller frees this request>
    
    Now, the next fuse_dev_do_read(), see interrupts list is not empty
    and then calls fuse_read_interrupt() which tries to access the request
    which is already free'd and gets the below crash:
    
    [11432.401266] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
    6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b
    ...
    [11432.418518] Kernel BUG at ffffff80083720e0

    ...

    [11432.709406] [<ffffff80081d67f0>] SyS_read+0x58/0x94
    
    As FR_FINISHED bit is set before deleting the intr_entry with input
    queue lock in request completion path, do the testing of this flag and
    queueing atomically with the same lock in queue_interrupt().
