Calling '__v9fs_get_acl' method in 'v9fs_get_acl' creates the
following chain of function calls:

__v9fs_get_acl
	v9fs_fid_get_acl
		v9fs_fid_xattr_get
			p9_client_xattrwalk

Function p9_client_xattrwalk accepts a pointer to u64-typed
variable attr_size and puts some u64 value into it. However,
after the executing the p9_client_xattrwalk, in some circumstances
we assign the value of u64-typed variable 'attr_size' to the
variable 'retval', which we will return. However, the type of
'retval' is ssize_t, and if the value of attr_size is larger
than SSIZE_MAX, we will face the signed type overflow. If the
overflow occurs, the result of v9fs_fid_xattr_get may be
negative, but not classified as an error. When we try to allocate
an acl with 'broken' size we receive an error, but don't process
it. When we try to free this acl, we face the 'wild-memory-access'
error (because it wasn't allocated).

This patch will add new condition to the 'v9fs_fid_xattr_get'
function, so it will return an EOVERFLOW error if the 'attr_size'
is larger than SSIZE_MAX.

In this version of the patch I simplified the condition.

In previous (v2) version of the patch I removed explicit type conversion
and added separate condition to check the possible overflow and return
an error (in v1 version I've just modified the existing condition).

Tested via syzkaller.

Checking the p9_fid_put value allows us to pass back errors
involved if we end up clunking the fid as part of dir_release.

This can help with more graceful response to errors in writeback
among other things.

If cache is enabled, make sure we are putting the right things
in place (mainly impacts mmap).  This also sets us up for more

Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
   mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs:
   introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
   cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
   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 relevant on the mount level. Especially for
   non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
   potential source for bugs.

   This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
   around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
   mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.

   Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
   low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
   two namespace arguments.

   Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
   complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
   makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
   filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
   distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.

   Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
   separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
   mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
   That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
   oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.

   We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
   example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
   don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
   the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
   requirements.

   In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
   makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
   implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.

 - Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.

   A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
   create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
   tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
   some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
   to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.

   However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
   priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
   up.

   As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
   done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
   we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
   testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
   xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
   additional tests.

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.
