This is not necessary.
The SetCapCaseInsensitive method is (should be) called before Mount happens. The Mount method may (implicitly or explicitly) create new file system threads, and the value of host.capCaseInsensitive will become available to them regardless of locking. Note that the value of host.capCaseInsensitive is not supposed to change after Mount.
For this reason it is not necessary to wrap the host.capCaseInsensitive = value statement in a lock.

I removed it, although I think that it would make the code more uniform to lock it here as well.

The host.mntp variable is read-only after Mount. The Mount method may (implicitly or explicitly) create new file system threads, and the value of host.mntp will become available to them regardless of locking.

The host.sigc variable is read-only after Mount. The Mount method may (implicitly or explicitly) create new file system threads, and the value of host.sigc will become available to them regardless of locking.

The host.fuse variable is modified in hostInit and hostDestroy. The Unmount method is documented as being safe only between Init and Destroy, which means that the file system should provide its own synchronization method to ensure that Unmount is not called at the wrong time.
However I agree that it might be better if Unmount is improved to catch cases where the file system calls it before Init or after Destroy.

If I remove the lock here, I get into a race condition when executing go test -race; I had the same problem with my fs and I don't know how to fix it on the side of my fs.

My comments in Unmount apply here as well (especially because I failed to document that is only safe between Init and Destroy).

In comparison to func Unmount, it doesn't run into a race condition when running go test -race.
