Subject: [PATCH v3 07/38] mount: attach mappings to mounts

In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts will be marked with user
namespaces. The idmapping associated with that user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount. By
default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace. The initial
user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not idmapped. All operations
behave as before.

Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace and not
just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all the helpers that
already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of introducing a whole new
range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in the future that we are confident
enough to enable unprivileged users to setup idmapped mounts we can allow
already idmapped mounts to be marked with another user namespace. The permission
checking would then take into account whether the caller is privileged in the
user namespace the mount is currently marked with. For now, we will enforce in
later patches that once a mount has been idmapped it can't be remapped. This
keeps permission checking and life-cycle management simple, especially since
users can always create a new mount with a different idmapping anyway.

The idea to attach user namespaces to vfsmounts has been floated around in
various forms at Linux Plumbers in ~2018 with the original idea tracing back to
a discussion during a conference in St. Petersburg between Christoph, Tycho, and
myself.

/* v2 */
patch introduced
- Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>:
  - Split internal implementation into separate patch and move syscall
    implementation later.

/* v3 */
- David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>:
  - Remove MNT_IDMAPPED flag. We can simply check the pointer and use
    smp_load_acquire() in later patches.

- Tycho Andersen <tycho@...ho.pizza>:
  - Use READ_ONCE() in mnt_user_ns().
