fusefronted: disallow writes running concurrently with reads
As uncovered by xfstests generic/465, concurrent reads and writes could lead to this, doRead 3015532: corrupt block #1039: stupidgcm: message authentication failed, as the read could pick up a block that has not yet been completely written - write() is not atomic! Now writes take ContentLock exclusively, while reads take it shared, meaning that multiple reads can run in parallel with each other, but not with a write. This also simplifies the file header locking.
