mm: Convert all PageMovable users to movable_operations

These drivers are rather uncomfortably hammered into the
address_space_operations hole. They aren't filesystems and don't behave
like filesystems. They just need their own movable_operations structure,
which we can point to directly from page->mapping.

fs/lock: add 2 callbacks to lock_manager_operations to resolve conflict

Add 2 new callbacks, lm_lock_expirable and lm_expire_lock, to
lock_manager_operations to allow the lock manager to take appropriate
action to resolve the lock conflict if possible.

A new field, lm_mod_owner, is also added to lock_manager_operations.
The lm_mod_owner is used by the fs/lock code to make sure the lock
manager module such as nfsd, is not freed while lock conflict is being
resolved.

lm_lock_expirable checks and returns true to indicate that the lock
conflict can be resolved else return false. This callback must be
called with the flc_lock held so it can not block.

lm_expire_lock is called to resolve the lock conflict if the returned
value from lm_lock_expirable is true. This callback is called without
the flc_lock held since it's allowed to block. Upon returning from
this callback, the lock conflict should be resolved and the caller is
expected to restart the conflict check from the beginnning of the list.

Lock manager, such as NFSv4 courteous server, uses this callback to
resolve conflict by destroying lock owner, or the NFSv4 courtesy client
(client that has expired but allowed to maintains its states) that owns
the lock.

mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock

Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead
against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is
like:

fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) read / fault / ..
truncate_inode_pages_range()
<create pages in page
cache here>
<update fs block mapping and free blocks>

Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can
instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks
get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do
not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given
range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under
mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes
the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer.

So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock -
that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads /
readahead.

vfs: add fileattr ops

There's a substantial amount of boilerplate in filesystems handling
FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS/ FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctls.

Also due to userspace buffers being involved in the ioctl API this is
difficult to stack, as shown by overlayfs issues related to these ioctls.

Introduce a new internal API named "fileattr" (fsxattr can be confused with
xattr, xflags is inappropriate, since this is more than just flags).

There's significant overlap between flags and xflags and this API handles
the conversions automatically, so filesystems may choose which one to use.

In ->fileattr_get() a hint is provided to the filesystem whether flags or
xattr are being requested by userspace, but in this series this hint is
ignored by all filesystems, since generating all the attributes is cheap.

If a filesystem doesn't implemement the fileattr API, just fall back to
f_op->ioctl(). When all filesystems are converted, the fallback can be
removed.

32bit compat ioctls are now handled by the generic code as well.

acl: handle idmapped mounts

The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is
privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the
inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped
mounts.

The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of
posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to
translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the
ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or
the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user
namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we
either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which
direction we're translating.
Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user
namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the
superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to
handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace.

In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch
series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode()
helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let
them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix
acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend
the ->set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass
the mount's user namespace down.
