fuse: CVE-2018-10906

* CVE-2018-10906-1:

fusermount: don't feed "escaped commas" into mount options

The old code permits the following behavior:

$ _FUSE_COMMFD=10000 priv_strace -etrace=mount -s200 fusermount -o 'foobar=\,allow_other' mount
mount("/dev/fuse", ".", "fuse", MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV, "foobar=\\,allow_other,fd=3,rootmode=40000,user_id=1000,group_id=1000") = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

However, backslashes do not have any special meaning for the kernel here.

As it happens, you can't abuse this because there is no FUSE mount option
that takes a string value that can contain backslashes; but this is very
brittle. Don't interpret "escape characters" in places where they don't
work.

* CVE-2018-10906-2:

fusermount: refuse unknown options

Blacklists are notoriously fragile; especially if the kernel wishes to add
some security-critical mount option at a later date, all existing systems
with older versions of fusermount installed will suddenly have a security
problem.
Additionally, if the kernel's option parsing became a tiny bit laxer, the
blacklist could probably be bypassed.

Whitelist known-harmless flags instead, even if it's slightly more
inconvenient.

Affects fuse < 2.9.8 and fuse < 3.2.5
