[PATCH] fuse: fix spurious BUG
Fix a spurious BUG in an unlikely race, where at least three parallel lookups return the same inode, but with different file type. This has not yet been observed in real life. Allowing unlimited retries could delay fuse_iget() indefinitely, but this is really for the broken userspace filesystem to worry about.
