fusefrontend: -allow_other: set file mode *after* chown in Create()
Reported by @slackner at https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/327 : Possible race-conditions between file creation and Fchownat * Assume a system contains a gocryptfs mount as root user with -allow_other * As a regular user create a new file with mode containing the SUID flag and write access for other users * Before gocryptfs executes the Fchownat call, try to open the file again, write some exploit code to it, and try to run it. For a short time, the file is owned by root and has the SUID flag, so this is pretty dangerous.
