Just moving the whole internal header file is not nice.  I did a
mechanical public/private separation of the interface based on what
CUSE uses.   Incremental patch attached.

But this is just a start.  From the big structures still left in
<net/fuse.h> CUSE only uses the following fields:

fc: .minor, max_read, max_write, rcu, release, initialized, num_waiting
fm: .fc
ff: .fm
fud: .fc

Dealing with the last 3 is trivial:  create and alloc function for the
fm, and create accessor functions for the accessed fields.

Dealing with fc properly is probably a bit more involved, but does not
seem to be too compex at first glance.

Do you want to take a stab at cleaning this up further?

Thanks,
Miklos
