I'm a bit confused about fiq->priv's role in this.  The callback takes
struct fuse_iqueue *fiq as the argument, not void *priv, so it could
theoretically do more than just release priv.

I think one of the following would be clearer:

 /**
  * Drop a reference to fiq->priv.
  */
 void (*put_priv)(void *priv);

Or:

 /**
  * Clean up when fuse_iqueue is destroyed.
  */
 void (*release)(struct fuse_iqueue *fiq);

In the second case fuse_conn_put() shouldn't check fiq->priv.
