Log Message:
Allow calling puffs_mount(3) before puffs_daemon(3)
puffs_daemon(3) creates a pipe before forking, and the parent process
waits for the child to either complete puffs_mount(3) or fail. If a
user calls puffs_daemon(3) after puffs_mount(3), the function
deadlocks. While this error-reporting functionality is really a nice
thing to have, deadlocking is not great. If the filesystem has already
been mounted, puffs_mount(3) should just daemonize the process and
return.
This became an issue because fuse_daemonize(3) in FUSE API had no such
requirement and some FUSE filesystems in the wild suffered deadlocks.
