[PATCH 07/34] capability: handle idmapped mounts

Christian Brauner

In order to determine whether a caller holds privilege over a given
inode the capability framework exposes the two helpers
privileged_wrt_inode_uidgid() and capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(). The former
verifies that the inode has a mapping in the caller's user namespace and
the latter additionally verifies that the caller has the requested
capability in their current user namespace. If the inode is accessed
through an idmapped mount we first need to map it according to the
mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to
non-idmapped inodes. If the initial user namespace is passed all
operations are a nop so non-idmapped mounts will not see a change in
behavior and will also not see any performance impact.
Since the privileged_wrt_inode_uidgid() helper only has one caller it
makes more sense to simply add an additional user namespace argument and
adapt the single callsite it is used in. The capable_wrt_inode_uidgid()
helper is used in more places so we introduce a new
capable_wrt_mapped_inode_uidgid() helper which can be used by the vfs.
