fs: Check for invalid i_uid in may_follow_link()
Filesystem uids which don't map into a user namespace may result in inode->i_uid being INVALID_UID. A symlink and its parent could have different owners in the filesystem can both get mapped to INVALID_UID, which may result in following a symlink when this would not have otherwise been permitted when protected symlinks are enabled.
