Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Remove legacy file_mnt_user_ns() and mnt_user_ns().

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

A while ago we introduced a dedicated vfs{g,u}id_t type in commit
1e5267cd0895 ("mnt_idmapping: add vfs{g,u}id_t"). We already switched
over a good part of the VFS. Ultimately we will remove all legacy
idmapped mount helpers that operate only on k{g,u}id_t in favor of the
new type safe helpers that operate on vfs{g,u}id_t.

In earlier patches we already passed down the relevant upper or lower
path to ovl_open_realfile(). Now let the open helpers actually take the
idmapping of the relevant mount into account when checking permissions.
This is needed to support idmapped base layers with overlay.

When copying inode attributes from the upper or lower layer to ovl inodes
we need to take the upper or lower layer's mount's idmapping into
account. In a lot of places we call ovl_copyattr() only on upper inodes and
in some we call it on either upper or lower inodes. Split this into two
separate helpers.

The first one should only be called on upper
inodes and is thus called ovl_copy_upperattr(). The second one can be
called on upper or lower inodes. We add ovl_copy_realattr() for this
task. The new helper makes use of the previously added ovl_i_path_real()
helper. This is needed to support idmapped base layers with overlay.

When overlay copies the inode information from an upper or lower layer
to the relevant overlay inode it will apply the idmapping of the upper
or lower layer when doing so. The ovl inode ownership will thus always
correctly reflect the ownership of the idmapped upper or lower layer.

All idmapping helpers are nops when no idmapped base layers are used.

Create some ovl_i_* helpers to get real path from ovl inode. Instead of
just stashing struct inode for the lower layer we stash struct path for
the lower layer. The helpers allow to retrieve a struct path for the
relevant upper or lower layer. This will be used when retrieving
information based on struct inode when copying up inode attributes from
upper or lower inodes to ovl inodes and when checking permissions in
ovl_permission() in following patches. This is needed to support
idmapped base layers with overlay.

Add a helper that allows to retrieve ovl xattrs from either lower or
upper layers. To stop passing mnt and dentry separately everywhere use
struct path which more accurately reflects the tight coupling between
mount and dentry in this helper. Swich over all places to pass a path
argument that can operate on either upper or lower layers. This is
needed to support idmapped base layers with overlayfs.

Some helpers are always called with an upper dentry, which is now utilized
by these helpers to create the path.  Make this usage explicit by renaming
the argument to "upperdentry" and by renaming the function as well in some
cases.  Also add a check in ovl_do_getxattr() to catch misuse of these
functions.
