virtiofsd: Store every lo_inode's parent_dev

We want to detect mount points in the shared tree.  We report them to
the guest by setting the FUSE_ATTR_SUBMOUNT flag in fuse_attr.flags, but
because the FUSE client will create a submount for every directory that
has this flag set, we must do this only for the actual mount points.

We can detect mount points by comparing a directory's st_dev with its
parent's st_dev.  To be able to do so, we need to store the parent's
st_dev in the lo_inode object.

Note that mount points need not necessarily be directories; a single
file can be a mount point as well.  However, for the sake of simplicity
let us ignore any non-directory mount points for now.
