Basically, the pjdfstests set the ownership of a file to 06555, and then chowns it (as root) to a new uid/gid. Prior to commit a09f99eddef4 ("fuse: fix killing s[ug]id in setattr"), fuse would send down a setattr with both the uid/gid change and a new mode. Now, it just sends down the uid/gid change. Technically this is NOTABUG, since POSIX doesn't _require_ that we clear these bits for a privileged process, but Linux (wisely) has done that and I think we don't want to change that behavior here. This is caused by the use of should_remove_suid(), which will always return 0 when the process has CAP_FSETID. In fact we really don't need to be calling should_remove_suid() at all, since we've already been indicated that we should remove the suid, we just don't want to use a (very) stale mode for that. This patch should fix the above as well as simplify the logic.
