Fix a race between fuse_iget() and fuse_reverse_inval_inode() where invalidation can arrive while an inode is being initialized, causing the invalidation to be lost. Add a waitqueue to make fuse_reverse_inval_inode() wait when it encounters an inode with attr_version == 0 (still initializing). When fuse_change_attributes_common() completes initialization, it wakes waiting threads. This ensures invalidations are properly serialized with inode initialization, maintaining cache coherency.
