    fs: make helpers idmap mount aware · 549c7297
    Christian Brauner authored
    Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
    filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
    namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
    additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
    translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
    relevant helpers in earlier patches.
    
    As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
    introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
    mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.
