Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

The generic_fillattr() helper fills in the basic attributes associated
with an inode. Enable it to handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is
accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the mount's user
namespace before we store the uid and gid. If the initial user namespace
is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.

KSTAT_QUERY_FLAGS expands to AT_STATX_SYNC_TYPE, which itself already
is a mask.  Remove the double name, especially given that the prefix
is a little confusing vs the normal AT_* flags.

The function really obsfucates checking for valid flags and setting the
lookup flags.  The fact that it returns -EINVAL through and unsigned
return value, which is then used as boolean really doesn't help either.

Pull DAX updates part one from Darrick Wong:
 "After many years of LKML-wrangling about how to enable programs to
  query and influence the file data access mode (DAX) when a filesystem
  resides on storage devices such as persistent memory, Ira Weiny has
  emerged with a proposed set of standard behaviors that has not been
  shot down by anyone! We're more or less standardizing on the current
  XFS behavior and adapting ext4 to do the same.

  This is the first of a handful pull requests that will make ext4 and
  XFS present a consistent interface for user programs that care about
  DAX. We add a statx attribute that programs can check to see if DAX is
  enabled on a particular file. Then, we update the DAX documentation to
  spell out the user-visible behaviors that filesystems will guarantee
  (until the next storage industry shakeup). The on-disk inode flag has
  been in XFS for a few years now.

  Summary:

   - Clean up io_is_direct.

   - Add a new statx flag to indicate when file data access is being
     done via DAX (as opposed to the page cache).

   - Update the documentation for how system administrators and
     application programmers can take advantage of the (still
     experimental DAX) feature"
