VFS: rename kern_path_locked() and related functions.
kern_path_locked() is now only used to prepare for removing an object
from the filesystem (and that is the only credible reason for wanting a
positive locked dentry).  Thus it corresponds to kern_path_create() and
so should have a corresponding name.

Unfortunately the name "kern_path_create" is somewhat misleading as it
doesn't actually create anything.  The recently added
simple_start_creating() provides a better pattern I believe.  The
"start" can be matched with "end" to bracket the creating or removing.

So this patch changes names:

 kern_path_locked -> start_removing_path
 kern_path_create -> start_creating_path
 user_path_create -> start_creating_user_path
 user_path_locked_at -> start_removing_user_path_at
 done_path_create -> end_creating_path

and also introduces end_removing_path() which is identical to
end_creating_path().

__start_removing_path (which was __kern_path_locked) is enhanced to
call mnt_want_write() for consistency with the start_creating_path().

VFS: Change vfs_mkdir() to return the dentry.
vfs_mkdir() does not guarantee to leave the child dentry hashed or make
it positive on success, and in many such cases the filesystem had to use
a different dentry which it can now return.

This patch changes vfs_mkdir() to return the dentry provided by the
filesystems which is hashed and positive when provided.  This reduces
the number of cases where the resulting dentry is not positive to a
handful which don't deserve extra efforts.

The only callers of vfs_mkdir() which are interested in the resulting
inode are in-kernel filesystem clients: cachefiles, nfsd, smb/server.
The only filesystems that don't reliably provide the inode are:
- kernfs, tracefs which these clients are unlikely to be interested in
- cifs in some configurations would need to do a lookup to find the
  created inode, but doesn't.  cifs cannot be exported via NFS, is
  unlikely to be used by cachefiles, and smb/server only has a soft
  requirement for the inode, so this is unlikely to be a problem in
  practice.
- hostfs, nfs, cifs may need to do a lookup (rarely for NFS) and it is
  possible for a race to make that lookup fail.  Actual failure
  is unlikely and providing callers handle negative dentries graceful
  they will fail-safe.

So this patch removes the lookup code in nfsd and smb/server and adjusts
them to fail safe if a negative dentry is provided:
- cache-files already fails safe by restarting the task from the
  top - it still does with this change, though it no longer calls
  cachefiles_put_directory() as that will crash if the dentry is
  negative.
- nfsd reports "Server-fault" which it what it used to do if the lookup
  failed. This will never happen on any file-systems that it can actually
  export, so this is of no consequence.  I removed the fh_update()
  call as that is not needed and out-of-place.  A subsequent
  nfsd_create_setattr() call will call fh_update() when needed.
- smb/server only wants the inode to call ksmbd_smb_inherit_owner()
  which updates ->i_uid (without calling notify_change() or similar)
  which can be safely skipping on cifs (I hope).

If a different dentry is returned, the first one is put.  If necessary
the fact that it is new can be determined by comparing pointers.  A new
dentry will certainly have a new pointer (as the old is put after the
new is obtained).
Similarly if an error is returned (via ERR_PTR()) the original dentry is
put.

fs: add a new SB_I_NOUMASK flag
SB_POSIXACL must be set when a filesystem supports POSIX ACLs, but NFSv4
also sets this flag to prevent the VFS from applying the umask on
newly-created files. NFSv4 doesn't support POSIX ACLs however, which
causes confusion when other subsystems try to test for them.

Add a new SB_I_NOUMASK flag that allows filesystems to opt-in to umask
stripping without advertising support for POSIX ACLs. Set the new flag
on NFSv4 instead of SB_POSIXACL.

Also, move mode_strip_umask to namei.h and convert init_mknod and
init_mkdir to use it.

fs: port ->permission() to pass mnt_idmap
Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

namei: prepare for idmapped mounts
The various vfs_*() helpers are called by filesystems or by the vfs
itself to perform core operations such as create, link, mkdir, mknod, rename,
rmdir, tmpfile and unlink. Enable them to handle idmapped mounts. If the
inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace and pass it down. Afterwards the checks and
operations are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user
namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see
identical behavior as before.

namei: handle idmapped mounts in may_*() helpers
The may_follow_link(), may_linkat(), may_lookup(), may_open(),
may_o_create(), may_create_in_sticky(), may_delete(), and may_create()
helpers determine whether the caller is privileged enough to perform the
associated operations. Let them handle idmapped mounts by mapping the
inode or fsids according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the
checks are identical to non-idmapped inodes. The patch takes care to
retrieve the mount's user namespace right before performing permission
checks and passing it down into the fileystem so the user namespace
can't change in between by someone idmapping a mount that is currently
not idmapped. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so
non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

fs: add file and path permissions helpers

Christoph also correctly points out that this makes codepaths (e.g.
ioctls) way easier to follow that would otherwise have to do more
complex argument passing than necessary.
