[Virtio-fs] [PATCH v2 23/25] vhost-user-fs: Extend VhostUserFSSlaveMsg to pass additional info

From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal at redhat.com>

Extend VhostUserFSSlaveMsg so that slave can ask it to drop CAP_FSETID
before doing I/O on fd.

In some cases, virtiofsd takes the onus of clearing setuid bit on a file
when WRITE happens. Generally virtiofsd does the WRITE to fd (from guest
memory which is mapped in virtiofsd as well), but if this memory is
unmappable in virtiofsd (like cache window), then virtiofsd asks qemu
to do the I/O instead.

To retain the capability to drop suid bit on write, qemu needs to
drop the CAP_FSETID as well before write to fd. Extend VhostUserFSSlaveMsg
so that virtiofsd can specify in message if CAP_FSETID needs to be
dropped.
