Introduce v3 namespaced file capabilities

Root in a non-initial user ns cannot be trusted to write a traditional
security.capability xattr.  If it were allowed to do so, then any
unprivileged user on the host could map his own uid to root in a private
namespace, write the xattr, and execute the file with privilege on the
host.

However supporting file capabilities in a user namespace is very
desirable.  Not doing so means that any programs designed to run with
limited privilege must continue to support other methods of gaining and
dropping privilege.  For instance a program installer must detect
whether file capabilities can be assigned, and assign them if so but set
setuid-root otherwise.  The program in turn must know how to drop
partial capabilities, and do so only if setuid-root.

This patch introduces v3 of the security.capability xattr.  It builds a
vfs_ns_cap_data struct by appending a uid_t rootid to struct
vfs_cap_data.  This is the absolute uid_t (that is, the uid_t in user
namespace which mounted the filesystem, usually init_user_ns) of the
root id in whose namespaces the file capabilities may take effect.

When a task asks to write a v2 security.capability xattr, if it is
privileged with respect to the userns which mounted the filesystem, then
nothing should change.  Otherwise, the kernel will transparently rewrite
the xattr as a v3 with the appropriate rootid.  This is done during the
execution of setxattr() to catch user-space-initiated capability writes.
Subsequently, any task executing the file which has the noted kuid as
its root uid, or which is in a descendent user_ns of such a user_ns,
will run the file with capabilities.

Similarly when asking to read file capabilities, a v3 capability will
be presented as v2 if it applies to the caller's namespace.

If a task writes a v3 security.capability, then it can provide a uid for
the xattr so long as the uid is valid in its own user namespace, and it
is privileged with CAP_SETFCAP over its namespace.  The kernel will
translate that rootid to an absolute uid, and write that to disk.  After
this, a task in the writer's namespace will not be able to use those
capabilities (unless rootid was 0), but a task in a namespace where the
given uid is root will.

Only a single security.capability xattr may exist at a time for a given
file.  A task may overwrite an existing xattr so long as it is
privileged over the inode.  Note this is a departure from previous
semantics, which required privilege to remove a security.capability
xattr.  This check can be re-added if deemed useful.

This allows a simple setxattr to work, allows tar/untar to work, and
allows us to tar in one namespace and untar in another while preserving
the capability, without risking leaking privilege into a parent
namespace.

Example using tar:

 $ cp /bin/sleep sleepx
 $ mkdir b1 b2
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100000:1 -m b:1:$(id -u):1 -- chown 0:0 b1
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100001:1 -m b:1:$(id -u):1 -- chown 0:0 b2
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100000:1000 -- tar --xattrs-include=security.capability --xattrs -cf b1/sleepx.tar sleepx
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100001:1000 -- tar --xattrs-include=security.capability --xattrs -C b2 -xf b1/sleepx.tar
 $ lxc-usernsexec -m b:0:100001:1000 -- getcap b2/sleepx
   b2/sleepx = cap_sys_admin+ep
 # /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/getv3xattr b2/sleepx
   v3 xattr, rootid is 100001

A patch to linux-test-project adding a new set of tests for this
functionality is in the nsfscaps branch at github.com/hallyn/ltp

Changelog:
   Nov 02 2016: fix invalid check at refuse_fcap_overwrite()
   Nov 07 2016: convert rootid from and to fs user_ns
   (From ebiederm: mar 28 2017)
     commoncap.c: fix typos - s/v4/v3
     get_vfs_caps_from_disk: clarify the fs_ns root access check
     nsfscaps: change the code split for cap_inode_setxattr()
   Apr 09 2017:
       don't return v3 cap for caps owned by current root.
      return a v2 cap for a true v2 cap in non-init ns
   Apr 18 2017:
      . Change the flow of fscap writing to support s_user_ns writing.
      . Remove refuse_fcap_overwrite().  The value of the previous
        xattr doesn't matter.
   Apr 24 2017:
      . incorporate Eric's incremental diff
      . move cap_convert_nscap to setxattr and simplify its usage
   May 8, 2017:
      . fix leaking dentry refcount in cap_inode_getsecurity
