All users now just use '->iterate_shared()', which only takes the
directory inode lock for reading.
Filesystems that never got convered to shared mode now instead use a
wrapper that drops the lock, re-takes it in write mode, calls the old
function, and then downgrades the lock back to read mode.
This way the VFS layer and other callers no longer need to care about
filesystems that never got converted to the modern era.
The filesystems that use the new wrapper are ceph, coda, exfat, jfs,
ntfs, ocfs2, overlayfs, and vboxsf.
Honestly, several of them look like they really could just iterate their
directories in shared mode and skip the wrapper entirely, but the point
of this change is to not change semantics or fix filesystems that
haven't been fixed in the last 7+ years, but to finally get rid of the
dual iterators.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("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.

Opening a new file is done in 2 steps on regular filesystems:
1. Call the create inode-op on the parent-dir to create an inode
to hold the meta-data related to the file.
2. Call the open file-op to get a handle for the file.
vboxsf however does not really use disk-backed inodes because it
is based on passing through file-related system-calls through to
the hypervisor. So both steps translate to an open(2) call being
passed through to the hypervisor. With the handle returned by
the first call immediately being closed again.
Making 2 open calls for a single open(..., O_CREATE, ...) calls
has 2 problems:
a) It is not really efficient.
b) It actually breaks some apps.
An example of b) is doing a git clone inside a vboxsf mount.
When git clone tries to create a tempfile to store the pak
files which is downloading the following happens:
1. vboxsf_dir_mkfile() gets called with a mode of 0444 and succeeds.
2. vboxsf_file_open() gets called with file->f_flags containing
O_RDWR. When the host is a Linux machine this fails because doing
a open(..., O_RDWR) on a file which exists and has mode 0444 results
in an -EPERM error.
Other network-filesystems and fuse avoid the problem of needing to
pass 2 open() calls to the other side by using the atomic_open
directory-inode op.
This commit fixes git clone not working inside a vboxsf mount,
by adding support for the atomic_open directory-inode op.
As an added bonus this should also make opening new files faster.
The atomic_open implementation is modelled after the atomic_open
implementations from the 9p and fuse code.

Honor the excl flag to the dir-inode create op, instead of behaving
as if it is always set.
Note the old behavior still worked most of the time since a non-exclusive
open only calls the create op, if there is a race and the file is created
between the dentry lookup and the calling of the create call.
While at it change the type of the is_dir parameter to the
vboxsf_dir_create() helper from an int to a bool, to be consistent with
the use of bool for the excl parameter.

vboxsf_init_inode() is used both for initial setup of inode and for metadata
updates. Tell it whether we are updating a live inode or setting up a new
instance and have it refuse to change type in the former case.

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.

VirtualBox hosts can share folders with guests, this commit adds a
VFS driver implementing the Linux-guest side of this, allowing folders
exported by the host to be mounted under Linux.
This driver depends on the guest <-> host IPC functions exported by
the vboxguest driver.
