fs: don't allow non-init s_user_ns for filesystems without FS_USERNS_MOUNT
Christian noticed that it is possible for a privileged user to mount
most filesystems with a non-initial user namespace in sb->s_user_ns.
When fsopen() is called in a non-init namespace the caller's namespace
is recorded in fs_context->user_ns. If the returned file descriptor is
then passed to a process priviliged in init_user_ns, that process can
call fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE), creating a new superblock
with sb->s_user_ns set to the namespace of the process which called
fsopen().

This is problematic. We cannot assume that any filesystem which does not
set FS_USERNS_MOUNT has been written with a non-initial s_user_ns in
mind, increasing the risk for bugs and security issues.

Prevent this by returning EPERM from sget_fc() when FS_USERNS_MOUNT is
not set for the filesystem and a non-initial user namespace will be
used. sget() does not need to be updated as it always uses the user
namespace of the current context, or the initial user namespace if
SB_SUBMOUNT is set.

Fixes: cb50b348c7 ("convenience helpers: vfs_get_super() and sget_fc()")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
