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.
