More helper structs have been added to the fsutil package to make it easier to
implement fs.InodeOperations and fs.FileOperations.

When revalidating a Dirent, if the inode id is the same, then we don't need to
throw away the entire Dirent. We can just update the unstable attributes in
place.
If the inode id has changed, then the remote file has been deleted or moved,
and we have no choice but to throw away the dirent we have a look up another.
In this case, we may still end up losing a mounted dirent that is a child of
the revalidated dirent. However, that seems appropriate here because the entire
mount point has been pulled out from underneath us.
Because gVisor's overlay is at the Inode level rather than the Dirent level, we
must pass the parent Inode and name along with the Inode that is being
revalidated.

Previously, an overlay would panic if either the upper or lower fs required
revalidation for a given Dirent. Now, we allow revalidation from the upper
file, but not the lower.
If a cached overlay inode does need revalidation (because the upper needs
revalidation), then the entire overlay Inode will be discarded and a new
overlay Inode will be built with a fresh copy of the upper file.
As a side effect of this change, Revalidate must take an Inode instead of a
Dirent, since an overlay needs to revalidate individual Inodes.

The current revalidation logic is very simple and does not do much
introspection of the dirent being revalidated (other than looking at the type
of file).
Fancier revalidation logic is coming soon, and we need to be able to look at
the cached and uncached attributes of a given dirent, and we need a context to
perform some of these operations.
