First I thought that modifying umask (either with umask(0022) or just reset with
umask(0)) is not a good idea, but now I'm not sure:

1) We have quite a few tests, which will needs it:
NEW API tests:
$ git grep '^\s*umask(0' $(git grep -l tst_test.h) | wc -l
15

All tests:
$ git grep '^\s*umask(0' testcases/ | wc -l
34

And for sure some other, which will fail when too restrictive umask is set.

Wouldn't be better to have it in the library? Hopefully fewer tests would be
influenced this setup (and would need to set different umask()).

FYI test fails on vfat and ntfs when umask is 0077 (because override file and
directory permissions) (other filesystems are ok).

2) tests, which set .mount_device = 1 and have more restrictive umask will not
work. Workaround would be to not use it and mount manually in the setup().
Or, reset umask with umask(0).

WDYT?

Kind regards,
Petr
