Fix a number of ownership checks made by the VFS that assume that
inode->i_uid is meaningful with respect to the UID space of the system
performing the check.  Network filesystems, however, may violate this
assumption - and, indeed, a network filesystem may not even have an actual
concept of a UNIX integer UID (cifs, for example).

There are a number of places within the VFS where UID checks are made and
some of these should be deferring the interpretation to the filesystem by
way of the previously added vfs_inode_is_owned_by_me() and
vfs_inodes_have_same_owner():

  (*) chown_ok()
  (*) chgrp_ok()

      These should call vfs_inode_is_owned_by_me().  Possibly these need to
      defer all their checks to the network filesystem as the interpretation
      of the new UID/GID depends on the netfs too, but the ->setattr()
      method gets a chance to deal with that.

  (*) do_coredump()

      Should probably call vfs_is_owned_by_me() to check that the file
      created is owned by the caller - but the check that's there might be
      sufficient.

  (*) inode_owner_or_capable()

      Should call vfs_is_owned_by_me().  I'm not sure whether the namespace
      mapping makes sense in such a case, but it probably could be used.

  (*) vfs_setlease()

      Should call vfs_is_owned_by_me().  Actually, it should query if
      leasing is permitted.

      Also, setting locks could perhaps do with a permission call to the
      filesystem driver as AFS, for example, has a lock permission bit in
      the ACL, but since the AFS server checks that when the RPC call is
      made, it's probably unnecessary.

  (*) acl_permission_check()
  (*) posix_acl_permission()

      These functions are only used by generic_permission() which is
      overridden if ->permission() is supplied, and when evaluating a POSIX
      ACL, it should arguably be checking the UID anyway.

      AFS, for example, implements its own ACLs and evaluates them in
      ->permission() and on the server.

  (*) may_follow_link()

      Should call vfs_is_owned_by_me() and also vfs_have_same_owner() on the
      the link and its parent dir.  The latter only applies on
      world-writable sticky dirs.

  (*) may_create_in_sticky()

      The initial subject of this patch.  Should call vfs_is_owned_by_me()
      and also vfs_have_same_owner() both.

  (*) __check_sticky()

      Should call vfs_is_owned_by_me() on both the dir and the inode.

  (*) may_dedupe_file()

      Should call vfs_is_owned_by_me().

  (*) IMA policy ops.

      I'm not sure what the best way to deal with this is - if, indeed, it
      needs any changes.

Note that wrapping stuff up into vfs_inode_is_owned_by_me() isn't
necessarily the most efficient as it means we may end up doing the uid
idmapping an extra time - though mostly this is in places where I'm not
sure it matters so much.

This change looks good to me.  It should be noted that it assumes that filesystem specific is_owned_by_me inode_operation can properly handle all inode types.  The preceding change will need a fix for the afs implementation.
