virtiofsd: Disable killpriv_v2 by default
We are having bunch of issues with killpriv_v2 enabled by default. First of all it relies on clearing suid/sgid bits as needed by dropping capability CAP_FSETID. This does not work for remote filesystems like NFS (and possibly others). Secondly, we are noticing other issues related to clearing of SGID which leads to failures for xfstests generic/355 and generic/193. Thirdly, there are other issues w.r.t caching of metadata (suid/sgid) bits in fuse client with killpriv_v2 enabled. Guest can cache that data for sometime even if cleared on server. Second and Third issue are fixable. Just that it might take a little while to get it fixed in kernel. First one will probably not see any movement for a long time. Given these issues, killpriv_v2 does not seem to be a good candidate for enabling by default. We have already disabled it by default in rust version of virtiofsd. Hence this patch disabled killpriv_v2 by default. User can choose to enable it by passing option "-o killpriv_v2".
