capability: handle idmapped mounts
In order to determine whether a caller holds privilege over a given inode the capability framework exposes the two helpers privileged_wrt_inode_uidgid() and capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(). The former verifies that the inode has a mapping in the caller's user namespace and the latter additionally verifies that the caller has the requested capability in their current user namespace. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to non-idmapped inodes. If the initial user namespace is passed all operations are a nop so non-idmapped mounts will not see a change in behavior.
