fuse: allow sharing existing sb
Make it possible to create a new mount from a already working server.
Here's a detailed description of the problem from Jakob:
"The background for this question is occasional problems we see with our
fuse filesystem [1] and mount namespaces. On a usual client, we have
system-wide, autofs managed mountpoints. When a new mount namespace is
created (which can be done unprivileged in combination with user
namespaces), it can happen that a mountpoint is used inside the new
namespace but idle in the root mount namespace. So autofs unmounts the
parent, system-wide mountpoint. But the fuse module stays active and
still serves mountpoint in the child mount namespace. Because the fuse
daemon also blocks other system wide resources corresponding to the
mountpoint, this situation effectively prevents new mounts until the
child mount namespaces closes.
