I think enabling FS_USERNS_MOUNT should be pretty safe.

I was thinking opting out should be as simple as "chmod o-rw
/dev/fuse".  But that breaks libfuse, even though fusermount opens
/dev/fuse in privileged mode, so it shouldn't.  That can be fixed in
libfuse, but it's an unfortunate bug and it also means /dev/fuse is
configured with "crw-rw-rw-" in most cases.  Which means it will be
opting out, not opting in, which is the less safe version.

As I said, this hunk should be dropped from the first version, because
it's possibly unsafe.

Thanks,
