Subject: [PATCH] fusermount: don't feed "escaped commas" into mount options

The old code permits the following behavior:

$ _FUSE_COMMFD=10000 priv_strace -etrace=mount -s200 fusermount -o 'foobar=\,allow_other' mount
mount("/dev/fuse", ".", "fuse", MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV, "foobar=\\,allow_other,fd=3,rootmode=40000,user_id=1000,group_id=1000") = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

However, backslashes do not have any special meaning for the kernel here.

As it happens, you can't abuse this because there is no FUSE mount option
that takes a string value that can contain backslashes; but this is very
brittle. Don't interpret "escape characters" in places where they don't
work.
