virtfs-proxy-helper: use setresuid and setresgid
The setfsuid and setfsgid system calls are obscure and they complicate the error checking (that glibc's warn_unused_result "feature" forces us to do). Switch to the standard setresuid and setresgid functions. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonini@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

- * CAP_CHOWN, CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE, CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH, CAP_FOWNER, CAP_FSETID,
- * CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE (since Linux 2.2.30), CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE, and CAP_MKNOD

+ * If the effective user ID is changed from nonzero to 0, then the permitted
+ * set is copied to the effective set. If the effective user ID is changed
+ * from 0 to nonzero, then all capabilities are are cleared from the effective
+ * set.
+ *
+ * The setfsuid/setfsgid man pages warn that changing the effective user ID may
+ * expose the program to unwanted signals, but this is not true anymore: for an
+ * unprivileged (without CAP_KILL) program to send a signal, the real or
+ * effective user ID of the sending process must equal the real or saved user
+ * ID of the target process. Even when dropping privileges, it is enough to
+ * keep the saved UID to a "privileged" value and virtfs-proxy-helper won't
+ * be exposed to signals. So just use setresuid/setresgid.
