Subject: fat: Add allow_utime option
From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Normally utime(2) checks current process is owner of the file, or it
has CAP_FOWNER capability. But FAT filesystem doesn't have uid/gid as
on disk info, so normal check is too unflexible.
With this option you can relax it.
