[PATCH V9 2/4] fuse: Trace daemon creds

[Alessio Balsini <balsini@android.com>]

Add a reference to the FUSE daemon credentials, so that they can be used to
temporarily raise the user credentials when accessing lower file system
files in passthrough.

When using FUSE passthrough, read/write operations are directly forwarded
to the lower file system file, but there is no guarantee that the process
that is triggering the request has the right permissions to access the
lower file system.
By default, in the non-passthrough use case, it is the daemon that handles
the read/write operations, that can be performed to the lower file system
with the daemon privileges.
When passthrough is active, instead, the read/write operation is directly
applied to the lower file system, so to keep the same behavior as before,
the calling process temporarily receives the same credentials as the
daemon, that should be removed as soon as the operation completes.
