From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>
Define a new fs flag FS_SAFE, which denotes, that unprivileged
mounting of this filesystem may not constitute a security problem.
Since most filesystems haven't been designed with unprivileged
mounting in mind, a thorough audit is needed before setting this flag.
