fs,userns: Change inode_capable to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid
commit 23adbe12ef7d3d4195e80800ab36b37bee28cd03 upstream.
The kernel has no concept of capabilities with respect to inodes; inodes
exist independently of namespaces. For example, inode_capable(inode,
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE) would be nonsense.
This patch changes inode_capable to check for uid and gid mappings and
renames it to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid, which should make it more
obvious what it does.
Fixes CVE-2014-4014.
