[PATCH RFC 38/41] fuse: refuse files on pseudo filesystems as passthrough backing files

[Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The fuse server can register any regular file as a backing file. procfs
and binfmt_misc files are already refused by the stacking depth check as
both set s_stack_depth to FILESYSTEM_MAX_STACK_DEPTH. sysfs and the
other pseudo filesystems aren't. Reads and writes of the fuse file would
then be done on the pseudo file with the fuse server's credentials.
Refuse files on pseudo filesystems just like loop does.
