Title:
  shiftfs: chown sets untranslated ids in lower fs

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  Impact: shiftfs_setattr() creates an iattr struct with shifted ids for
  the lower fs, but then mistakenly passes the original iattr struct
  when changing the lower filesystem attributes. As a result, chown on a
  shiftfs filesystem sets ownership using the untranslated user and
  group ids.

  Fix: Pass the struct containing shifted uids to notify_change().

  Regression Potential: This is a simple and obvious fix, and it has
  been tested to confirm it fixes the issue. Therefore the risk of
  regressions is low.

  Test Case: Within a lxd container using shiftfs, run:

  # mkdir dir
  # touch file
  # ls -lh dir file
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Apr 11 13:05 dir
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Apr 11 13:05 file
  # chown 500:500 dir file
  # ls -lh dir file

  Expected result:

  drwxr-xr-x 2 500 500 4.0K Apr 11 13:05 dir
  -rw-r--r-- 1 500 500    0 Apr 11 13:05 file

  Result in 5.0.0-10.11:

  drwxr-xr-x 2 1000500 1000500 4.0K Apr 11 12:42 dir       
  -rw-r--r-- 1 1000500 1000500    0 Apr 11 12:42 file
