[PATCH v1 1/3] kernfs: add support for custom per-sb permission hooks

[Aleksa Sarai]

This allows for users of kernfs to create custom (and possibly less
restrictive) permission checks for kernfs_nodes. The default is
unchanged. This patch is part of the cgroupns unprivileged subtree
management patchset.
