Since commit 73f03c2b4b52 ("fuse: Restrict allow_other to the superblock's
namespace or a descendant"), access to allow_other FUSE filesystems has
been limited to users in the mounting user namespace or descendants. This
prevents a process that is privileged in its userns - but not its parent
namespaces - from mounting a FUSE fs w/ allow_other that is accessible to
processes in parent namespaces.
While this restriction makes sense overall it breaks a legitimate usecase:
I have a tracing daemon which needs to peek into process' open files in
order to symbolicate - similar to 'perf'. The daemon is a privileged
process in the root userns, but is unable to peek into FUSE filesystems
mounted by processes in child namespaces.
This patch adds a module param, allow_sys_admin_access, to act as an escape
hatch for this descendant userns logic and for the allow_other mount option
in general. Setting allow_sys_admin_access allows processes with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the initial userns to access FUSE filesystems irrespective
of the mounting userns or whether allow_other was set. A sysadmin setting
this param must trust FUSEs on the host to not DoS processes as described
in 73f03c2b4b52.

Converts fuse.txt to reStructuredText format, improving the presentation
without changing much of the underlying content.
