  fuse mounts hang on xattr retrieval with auditd

Bug description:
  Impact: If audit is enabled in the kernel, mounting fuse filesystems hangs.
  Development branch (and maverick): Addressed by upgrade to upstream fuse >= 2.8.3.
  Patch: https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/ubuntu/lucid/fuse/audit-hang (backported from upstream - it's not particularly short, but there were three intertwined fixes and this was the best I could do)
  TEST CASE: Install auditd and configure a rule, then try to mount a fuse filesystem.
  Regression potential: I'd recommend generally playing around with fuse and making sure it still works.  Running the udisks test suite might be a good idea.

  Original report follows:

  Binary package hint: libfuse2

  I'm being struck by the symptoms reported in this bug:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493565

  Namely, when auditd has any rules configured, I can't mount any fuse
  file-systems.  Comment 61 seems to have a pretty solid description of
  what's happening underneath and the solution appears to be upgrading
  to a libfuse > 2.8.3. Only 2.8.1
  (http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libfuse2) appears to be available
  currently for lucid.

  Cheers,
  peter
