Attached patch.  Will post shortly.

However, I think it would make sense to fix virtiofsd as well, as this
will take time to percolate down, even if Al doesn't find anything
wrong with it.

Doing unshare(CLONE_FS) after thread startup seems safe, though must
be careful to change the working directory to the root of the mount
*before* starting any threads.

Thanks,
Miklos
