fuse: Apply flags2 only when userspace set the FUSE_INIT_EXT

Browse source

commit 3066ff9347 upstream.

This is just a safety precaution to avoid checking flags on memory that was
initialized on the user space side.  libfuse zeroes struct fuse_init_out
outarg, but this is not guranteed to be done in all implementations.
Better is to act on flags and to only apply flags2 when FUSE_INIT_EXT is
set.

There is a risk with this change, though - it might break existing user
space libraries, which are already using flags2 without setting
FUSE_INIT_EXT.

The corresponding libfuse patch is here
