ovl: handle idmapped mounts in ovl_getattr()

Browse source

ovl_getattr() fetches attributes from the real (upper or lower) path
via vfs_getattr(), so the returned stat->uid/stat->gid are already
mapped through the real layer idmap but not through the overlay mount
idmap.  Unlike the generic path, the VFS does not re-apply the
accessing mount's idmap after ->getattr returns - generic_fillattr()
does it, but overlayfs bypasses it - so overlayfs has to do it itself.

Map stat->uid/stat->gid through the overlay mount idmap before
returning, mirroring generic_fillattr().  The owner reported through an
idmapped overlay mount is thus the overlay-final id translated by the
mount idmap.

No functional change until FS_ALLOW_IDMAP is set on ovl_fs_type; until
then make_vfsuid()/make_vfsgid() are the identity for &nop_mnt_idmap.
