Subject: [PATCH] configfs: make directories inherit uid/gid from creator

From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@...gle.com>

Currently a non-root process can create directories, but cannot
create stuff in the directories it creates.

Example (before this patch):
  phone:/ $ id
  uid=1000(system) gid=1000(system) groups=1000(system),... context=u:r:su:s0

  phone:/ $ cd /config/usb_gadget/g1/configs/

  phone:/config/usb_gadget/g1/configs $ ls -lZ
  drwxr-xr-x 3 system system u:object_r:configfs:s0  0 2020-12-28 06:03 b.1

  phone:/config/usb_gadget/g1/configs $ mkdir b.2

  phone:/config/usb_gadget/g1/configs $ ls -lZ
  drwxr-xr-x 3 system system u:object_r:configfs:s0  0 2020-12-28 06:03 b.1
  drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root   u:object_r:configfs:s0  0 2020-12-28 06:51 b.2

  phone:/config/usb_gadget/g1/configs $ chown system:system b.2
  chown: 'b.2' to 'system:system': Operation not permitted

  phone:/config/usb_gadget/g1/configs $ ls -lZ b.1
  -rw-r--r-- 1 system system u:object_r:configfs:s0  4096 2020-12-28 05:23 MaxPower
  -rw-r--r-- 1 system system u:object_r:configfs:s0  4096 2020-12-28 05:23 bmAttributes
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root   root   u:object_r:configfs:s0     0 2020-12-28 05:23 function0 -> ../../../../usb_gadget/g1/functions/ffs.adb
  drwxr-xr-x 2 system system u:object_r:configfs:s0     0 2020-12-28 05:23 strings

  phone:/config/usb_gadget/g1/configs $ ln -s ../../../../usb_gadget/g1/functions/ffs.adb b.2/function0
  ln: cannot create symbolic link from '../../../../usb_gadget/g1/functions/ffs.adb' to 'b.2/function0': Permission denied
