[libvirt PATCHv2 5/9] qemu: virtiofs: do not force UID 0
When this check was introduced, virtiofsd required root privileges.
This has changed since then - now it does not need to set up all the
sandboxing when running as non-root. It even gained support for
id mapping, which makes running unprivileged even more useful.
