Don't require the "user_id=" and "group_id=" options for unprivileged mounts,
but if they are present, verify them for sanity.
Disallow the "allow_other" option for unprivileged mounts.
FUSE was designed from the beginning to be safe for unprivileged
users. This has also been verified in practice over many years, with
some distributions enabling unprivileged FUSE mounts by default.
However there are some properties of FUSE, that could make it unsafe
for certain situations (e.g. multiuser system with untrusted users):
- It is not always possible to use kill(2) (not even with SIGKILL) to
terminate a process using a FUSE filesystem. However it is
possible to use any of the following instead:
o kill the filesystem daemon
o use forced umounting
o use the "fusectl" control filesystem
- As a special case of the above, killing a self-deadlocked FUSE
process is not possible, and even killall5 will not terminate it.
- Due to the design of the process freezer, a hanging (due to network
problems, etc) or malicious filesystem may prevent suspending to
ram or hibernation to succeed. This is not actually unique to
FUSE, as any hanging network filesystem will have the same affect.
If the above could pose a threat to the system, it is recommended,
that the '/proc/sys/fs/types/fuse/safe' sysctl tunable is not turned
on, and/or '/dev/fuse' is not made world-readable and writable.

I was going to say "this should of course be acked by a fuse
maintainer", then I look at MAINTAINERS :) So never mind.
