FSAL_VFS: Correct root-squash privilege handling for mknod and setattr paths This patch corrects several permission failures in FSAL_VFS when root_squash is enabled aiming to fix pynfs failures - LOOKCHAR, LOOKBLK, SATT18 (part of BZ - 2415390).. - Ensure mknod uses original_creds so that device creation works when the client’s real user is root. - Allow SETATTR (size, mode, ownership) when the squashed request originated from root. - Improve ACL-less fallback: - Allow WRITE_ACL/WRITE_ATTR based on write permission. - Permit WRITE_OWNER only when the original caller was root.
