Subject: [PATCH v3 01/11] fs/namespace: introduce SB_I_NOIDMAP flag

Right now we determine if filesystem support vfs idmappings
or not basing on the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag presence. This
"static" way works perfecly well for local filesystems
like ext4, xfs, btrfs, etc. But for network-like filesystems
like fuse, cephfs this approach is not ideal, because sometimes
proper support of vfs idmaps requires some extensions for the on-wire
protocol, which implies that changes have to be made not only
in the Linux kernel code but also in the 3rd party components like
libfuse, cephfs MDS server and so on.

We have seen that issue during our work on cephfs idmapped mounts [1]
with Christian, but right now I'm working on the idmapped mounts
support for fuse/virtiofs and I think that it is a right time for this extension.

[1] 5ccd8530dd7 ("ceph: handle idmapped mounts in create_request_message()")
