[PATCH RESEND v2 11/18] fs: Ensure the mounter of a filesystem is privileged towards its inodes

[Seth Forshee]

The mounter of a filesystem should be privileged towards the
inodes of that filesystem. Extend the checks in
inode_owner_or_capable() and capable_wrt_inode_uidgid() to
permit access by users priviliged in the user namespace of the
inode's superblock.
