Hm, so when looking at the policy entries via seq_file's .show method
and displaying the {g,u}id values of the rules we don't want the values
resolved according to the user namespace the securityfs instances was
mounted in. That would be misleading for callers that are in an
ancestor userns (which we allow in .permission).

So we want to make sure that we see the values as the opener of the file
would see them. This is similar to e.g. looking at a task's ids through
/proc/<pid>/status. So this should be seq_user_ns(m) instead of
ima_user_ns_from_file().

This should be from_k{g,u}id_munged().
