Bionic update: upstream stable patchset for fuse 2019-04-12

[Andrea Righi]

SRU Justification:

[Impact]
   This stable patchset update affects only the FUSE filesystem, since
   we have received bug reports about FUSE causing problems with the
   Bionic kernel, see also bug #1823972.

   The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
   in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
   demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
   by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
   a minimally backported form of that patch.

   The following upstream
   stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel:

   upstream stable patchset 2019-04-12 (ported from v4.15 .. v5.0)
   from git://git.kernel.org/
