[ Upstream commit 211db0ac9e3dc6c46f2dd53395b34d76af929faf ]

Since vfs_path_lookup is exported, It should not be internal.
Move vfs_path_lookup prototype in internal.h to linux/namei.h.

Now that we converted everything to just rely on struct mnt_idmap move it all
into a separate file. This ensure that no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap without any dedicated helpers and makes it easier to extend it in the
future. Filesystems will now not be able to conflate mount and filesystem
idmappings as they are two distinct types and require distinct helpers that
cannot be used interchangeably. We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap
as we see fit.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

<title>xattr: use posix acl api</title>

In previous patches we built a new posix api solely around get and set
inode operations. Now that we have all the pieces in place we can switch
the system calls and the vfs over to only rely on this api when
interacting with posix acls. This finally removes all type unsafety and
type conversion issues explained in detail in [1] that we aim to get rid
of.

With the new posix acl api we immediately translate into an appropriate
kernel internal struct posix_acl format both when getting and setting
posix acls. This is a stark contrast to before were we hacked unsafe raw
values into the uapi struct that was stored in a void pointer relying
and having filesystems and security modules hack around in the uapi
struct as well.

Split out the generic checks whether an inode allows writing xattrs. Since
security.* and system.* xattrs don't have any restrictions and we're going
to split out posix acls into a dedicated api we will use this helper to
check whether we can write posix acls.
