Current virtiofsd has problems about xattr operations and
they does not work properly for directory/symlink/special file.
The fundamental cause is that virtiofsd uses openat() + f...xattr()
systemcalls for xattr operation but we should not open symlink/special
file in the daemon. Therefore the function is restricted.
Fix this problem by:
1. during setup of each thread, call unshare(CLONE_FS)
2. in xattr operations (i.e. lo_getxattr), if inode is not a regular
file or directory, use fchdir(proc_loot_fd) + ...xattr() +
fchdir(root.fd) instead of openat() + f...xattr()
(Note: for a regular file/directory openat() + f...xattr()
is still used for performance reason)
With this patch, xfstests generic/062 passes on virtiofs.
This fix is suggested by Miklos Szeredi and Stefan Hajnoczi.

Sometimes collecting output from stderr is inconvenient or does not fit
within the overall logging architecture. Add syslog(3) support for
cases where stderr cannot be used.

Only allow system calls that are needed by virtiofsd. All other system
calls cause SIGSYS to be directed at the thread and the process will
coredump.
Restricting system calls reduces the kernel attack surface and limits
what the process can do when compromised.
