Subject: [PATCH] admin: Use fsuid to ensure correct file ownership

Files created over admin backend should be owned by root, but they are
owned by the user itself. This is because the daemon drops the uid to
make dbus connection work. Use fsuid and euid to fix this issue.

Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/issues/21
