Subject: [PATCH 4.7 06/59] cred: Reject inodes with invalid ids in set_create_file_as()

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@...onical.com>

commit 5f65e5ca286126a60f62c8421b77c2018a482b8a upstream.

Using INVALID_[UG]ID for the LSM file creation context doesn't
make sense, so return an error if the inode passed to
set_create_file_as() has an invalid id.
