Subject: virtiofsd: prevent opening of special files (CVE-2020-35517)

Git-commit: a3fdbbc7f271bff7d53d0501b29d910ece0b3789
References: bsc#1183373, CVE-2021-20263

A well-behaved FUSE client does not attempt to open special files with
FUSE_OPEN because they are handled on the client side (e.g. device nodes
are handled by client-side device drivers).

The check to prevent virtiofsd from opening special files is missing in
a few cases, most notably FUSE_OPEN. A malicious client can cause
virtiofsd to open a device node, potentially allowing the guest to
escape. This can be exploited by a modified guest device driver. It is
not exploitable from guest userspace since the guest kernel will handle
special files inside the guest instead of sending FUSE requests.

This patch fixes this issue by introducing the lo_inode_open() function
to check the file type before opening it. This is a short-term solution
because it does not prevent a compromised virtiofsd process from opening
device nodes on the host.

Restructure lo_create() to try O_CREAT | O_EXCL first. Note that O_CREAT
| O_EXCL does not follow symlinks, so O_NOFOLLOW masking is not
necessary here. If the file exists and the user did not specify O_EXCL,
open it via lo_do_open().
