fuse: realloc page array
Writeback caching currently allocates requests with the maximum number of
possible pages, while the actual number of pages per request depends on a
couple of factors that cannot be determined when the request is allocated
(whether page is already under writeback, whether page is contiguous with
previous pages already added to a request).
This patch allows such requests to start with no page allocation (all pages
inline) and grow the page array on demand.
If the max_pages tunable remains the default value, then this will mean
just one allocation that is the same size as before. If the tunable is
larger, then this adds at most 3 additional memory allocations (which is
generously compensated by the improved performance from the larger
request).
