    Using SUIDDIR is controlled by the MNT_SUIDDIR mount option, so there
    shouldn't be another knob to control it. If there is a security problem
    using MNT_SUIDDIR, then MNT_SUIDDIR should be disallowed up front so
    that that all the places that implement SUIDDIR don't have to test
    both knobs.
