move the capability checks from sget_userns() to legacy_get_tree()
1) all call chains leading to sget_userns() pass through ->mount() instances. 2) none of ->mount() instances is ever called directly - the only call site is legacy_get_tree() 3) all remaining ->mount() instances end up calling sget_userns() IOW, we might as well do the capability checks just before calling ->mount(). As for the arguments passed to mount_capable(), in case of call chains to sget_userns() going through sget(), we either don't call mount_capable() at all, or pass current_user_ns() to it. The call chains going through mount_pseudo_xattr() don't call mount_capable() at all (SB_KERNMOUNT in flags on those). That could've been split into smaller steps (lifting the checks into sget(), then callers of sget(), then all the way to the entries of every ->mount() out there, then to the sole caller), but that would be too much churn for little benefit...
