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".
