David van Moolenbroek 7eb698ea4a VFS: during initial mount, receive but block work
For VFS, initialization is a special case for processing work: PFS
and the ramdisk MFS must be fully mounted before VFS can process any
other requests, in particular from init(8). This case was handled by
receiving reply messages only from the FS service being mounted, but
this effectively disallowed PFS from calling setuid(2) at startup.

This patch lets VFS receive all messages during the mounting process,
but defer processing any new requests. As a result, the FS services
have a bit more freedom in what they can do during startup.
