namei: prepare for idmapped mounts
The various vfs_*() helpers are called by filesystems or by the vfs itself to perform core operations such as create, link, mkdir, mknod, rename, rmdir, tmpfile and unlink. Enable them to handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the mount's user namespace and pass it down. Afterwards the checks and operations are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.
