Subject: [PATCH 05/11] fs: Allow superblock owner to access do_remount_sb()

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

Superblock level remounts are currently restricted to global
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, as is the path for changing the root mount to
read only on umount. Loosen both of these permission checks to
also allow CAP_SYS_ADMIN in any namespace which is privileged
towards the userns which originally mounted the filesystem.

Patch v4 is available: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8944631/
