security: fix critical vulnerabilities in safesetid

- Fix race condition in lock FD handling
- Add hash verification after datastore writes
- Prevent command injection in fuser calls
- Add empty allowlist protection with auto-restore
- Improve temp file cleanup and error handling
- Enhance integrity checks for critical operations

These changes close multiple security gaps and add self-healing
capabilities to protect against tampering and corruption.
