Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Minor improvements for fsidd in nfs-utils

nfs-utils in openSUSE was recently updated to a version with fsidd and a
routine security audit was performed. No real security issues were
found but a couple of oddities were highlighted. The follow two patches
propose ways to clean up these oddities.

fsidd: don't use assert() on expr with side-effect.
fsidd: provide better default socket name.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fsidd: provide better default socket name.

Having the default socket name be in the current directory is a poor
choice for a daemon that is expected to run as root.

It is also likely better to use an "abstract" socket name. abstract
names do not exist in the filesystem namespace and are local to a
network namespace. Using an abstract name ensures that the nfsd,
mountd, and fsidd are all in the same network namespace.

This patch:
- uses a single #define for the default socket name, rather than 2;
- allows the socket name to start with '@' which is interpreted to
be a request to use the abstract name space (systemd uses the same
convention).
- changes the default to "@/run/fsid.sock". I don't know of a formal
standard for choosing names in the abstract name space, the defacto
standard (seen in "ss -xa|grep @") is to use a name similar to what
might be used in the filesystem.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fsidd: don't use assert() on expr with side-effect.

assert() is not guaranteed to evaluate its arg. When compiled with
-DNDEBUG, the evaluation is skipped. We don't currently compile with
-DNDEBUG, but relying on that is poor form, particularly as this is
described as "sample code" in the git log.

So introduce assert_safe() and use that when there are side-effects.

Nice! TBH, the series got faster merged than expected. ;-)
