Subject: [PATCH RESEND v5 3/5] namei: O_THISROOT: chroot-like path resolution

The primary motivation for the need for this flag is container runtimes
which have to interact with malicious root filesystems in the host
namespaces. One of the first requirements for a container runtime to be
secure against a malicious rootfs is that they correctly scope symlinks
(that is, they should be scoped as though they are chroot(2)ed into the
container's rootfs) and ".."-style paths[*]. The already-existing O_XDEV
and O_NOMAGICLINKS[**] help defend against other potential attacks in a
malicious rootfs scenario.

Currently most container runtimes try to do this resolution in
userspace[1], causing many potential race conditions. In addition, the
"obvious" alternative (actually performing a {ch,pivot_}root(2))
requires a fork+exec (for some runtimes) which is *very* costly if
necessary for every filesystem operation involving a container.

[*] At the moment, ".." and "magic link" jumping are disallowed for the
    same reason it is disabled for O_BENEATH -- currently it is not safe
    to allow it. Future patches may enable it unconditionally once we
    have resolved the possible races (for "..") and semantics (for
    "magic link" jumping).

The most significant openat(2) semantic change with O_THISROOT is that
absolute pathnames no longer cause dirfd to be ignored completely. The
rationale is that O_THISROOT must necessarily chroot-scope symlinks with
absolute paths to dirfd, and so doing it for the base path seems to be
the most consistent behaviour (and also avoids foot-gunning users who
want to scope paths that are absolute).

Currently this is only enabled for openat(2), and similar to O_BENEATH
and family requires more discussion about extending it to more *at(2)
syscalls as well as extending AT_EMPTY_PATH support.
