fusermount: prevent silent truncation of mount options

Currently, in the kernel, copy_mount_options() copies in one page of
userspace memory (or less if some of that memory area is not mapped).
do_mount() then writes a null byte to the last byte of the copied page.
This means that mount option strings longer than PAGE_SIZE-1 bytes get
truncated silently.

Therefore, this can happen:

user@d9-ut:~$ _FUSE_COMMFD=10000 fusermount -o "$(perl -e 'print ","x4000')" mount
sending file descriptor: Bad file descriptor
user@d9-ut:~$ grep /mount /proc/mounts
/dev/fuse /home/user/mount fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000 0 0
user@d9-ut:~$ fusermount -u mount
user@d9-ut:~$ _FUSE_COMMFD=10000 fusermount -o "$(perl -e 'print ","x4050')" mount
sending file descriptor: Bad file descriptor
user@d9-ut:~$ grep /mount /proc/mounts
/dev/fuse /home/user/mount fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=100 0 0
user@d9-ut:~$ fusermount -u mount
user@d9-ut:~$ _FUSE_COMMFD=10000 fusermount -o "$(perl -e 'print ","x4051')" mount
sending file descriptor: Bad file descriptor
user@d9-ut:~$ grep /mount /proc/mounts
/dev/fuse /home/user/mount fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=10 0 0
user@d9-ut:~$ fusermount -u mount
user@d9-ut:~$ _FUSE_COMMFD=10000 fusermount -o "$(perl -e 'print ","x4052')" mount
sending file descriptor: Bad file descriptor
user@d9-ut:~$ grep /mount /proc/mounts
/dev/fuse /home/user/mount fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1 0 0
user@d9-ut:~$ fusermount -u mount

I'm not aware of any context in which this is actually exploitable - you'd
still need the UIDs to fit, and you can't do it if the three GIDs of the
process don't match (in the case of a typical setgid binary), but it does
look like something that should be fixed.

I also plan to try to get this fixed on the kernel side.
