[Bug]: USM read/write access not working as intended.

[andrew-harness]

Expected behavior

I expect when setting the v2 and v3 users with no subtrees that they would not have read and write access.

# SNMPv2c setup

# SecurityName <-> CommunityName mapping.
config.addV1System(snmpEngine, "my-area", "public")

# Allow read MIB access for this user / securityModels at VACM
config.addVacmUser(snmpEngine, 2, "my-area", "noAuthNoPriv")

Actual behavior

But the users have full access to my OIDs unless I give them a specific subTree to block write/read requests.

enterprise = (1, 3, 6, 1, 4, 1, 66666)
blockWriteSubtree = (1, 3, 6, 1, 4, 1, 66666, 4294967295)
config.addVacmUser(snmpEngine, 2, "my-area", "noAuthNoPriv", enterprise, blockWriteSubtree)

Detailed steps

Here is a simplifed example I am working with. Omitting the blockWriteSubtree will allow the v2 user to write. Same goes for the v3 user. Not passing in the readSubTree and writeSubTree allows the users read/write as well.
