Hi All,

Please find attached V2 of the patches to enable SB_NOSEC for fuse. I
posted V1 here.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20200724183812.19573-1-vgoyal@redhat.com/

I have generated these patches on top of.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse.git/log/?h=for-next

Previously I was not keen on implementing FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2 and
implemented another idea to enable SB_NOSEC conditional on server
declaring that filesystem is not shared. But that did not go too
far when it came to requirements for virtiofs.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20200901204045.1250822-1-vgoyal@redhat.com/

So I went back to having another look at implementing FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2
and I think it fits nicely and should work nicely with wide variety of
use cases.

I have taken care of feedback from last round. For the case of random
write peformance has jumped from 50MB/s to 250MB/s. So I am really
looking forward to these changes so that fuse/virtiofs performance
can be improved.

Thanks
Vivek
