Subject: [PATCH RFC 4/4] fs: allow mknod in non-initial userns using cgroup
 device guard

If a container manager restricts its unprivileged (user namespaced)
children by a device cgroup, it is not necessary to deny mknod
anymore. Thus, user space applications may map devices on different
locations in the file system by using mknod() inside the container.

A use case for this, we also use in GyroidOS, is to run virsh for
VMs inside an unprivileged container. virsh creates device nodes,
e.g., "/var/run/libvirt/qemu/11-fgfg.dev/null" which currently fails
in a non-initial userns, even if a cgroup device white list with the
corresponding major, minor of /dev/null exists. Thus, in this case
the usual bind mounts or pre populated device nodes under /dev are
not sufficient.

To circumvent this limitation, we allow mknod() in fs/namei.c if a
bpf cgroup device guard is enabeld for the current task using
devcgroup_task_is_guarded() and check CAP_MKNOD for the current user
namespace by ns_capable() instead of the global CAP_MKNOD.

To avoid unusable device nodes on file systems mounted in
non-initial user namespace, may_open_dev() ignores the SB_I_NODEV
for cgroup device guarded tasks.
