The AI's analysis

  In this case, `chown_common()` skips setting `newattrs.ia_vfsuid` and `newattrs.ia_vfsgid`.

at https://syzkaller.appspot.com/ai_job?id=abea5dd9-2a6e-4669-a927-d87ef7833666 is wrong.
We always set newattrs.ia_vfsuid and newattrs.ia_vfsgid before checking for -1.

  retry_deleg:
  	newattrs.ia_vfsuid = INVALID_VFSUID;
  	newattrs.ia_vfsgid = INVALID_VFSGID;
  	newattrs.ia_valid =  ATTR_CTIME;
  	if ((user != (uid_t)-1) && !setattr_vfsuid(&newattrs, uid))
  		return -EINVAL;
  	if ((group != (gid_t)-1) && !setattr_vfsgid(&newattrs, gid))
  		return -EINVAL;

Therefore, unless VFS people find something that can cause this problem,
this would be a random memory corruption which confused KMSAN.

Command #1:
The specified label value is incorrect.
"unclassified" is not among the allowed values.
Please use one of the supported label values.

The following labels are suported:
actionable, missing-backport, no-reminders, prio: {low, normal, high}, subsystems: {..
see below ..}

How to clear Subsystems: field if unclassified is not among the allowed values?

#syz unset subsystems
