userns: relax the posix_acl_valid() checks

So far, POSIX ACLs are using a canonical representation that keeps all ACL
entries in a strict order; the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entries for specific
users and groups are ordered by user and group identifier, respectively.
The user-space code provides ACL entries in this order; the kernel
verifies that the ACL entry order is correct in posix_acl_valid().

User namespaces allow to arbitrary map user and group identifiers which
can cause the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entry order to differ between user
space and the kernel; posix_acl_valid() would then fail.

Work around this by allowing ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entries to be in any
order in the kernel. The effect is only minor: file permission checks
will pick the first matching ACL_USER entry, and check all matching
ACL_GROUP entries.

(The libacl user-space library and getfacl / setfacl tools will not create
ACLs with duplicate user or group idenfifiers; they will handle ACLs with
entries in an arbitrary order correctly.)

userns: Convert vfs posix_acl support to use kuids and kgids

- In setxattr if we are setting a posix acl convert uids and gids from
the current user namespace into the initial user namespace, before
the xattrs are passed to the underlying filesystem.

Untranslatable uids and gids are represented as -1 which
posix_acl_from_xattr will represent as INVALID_UID or INVALID_GID.
posix_acl_valid will fail if an acl from userspace has any
INVALID_UID or INVALID_GID values. In net this guarantees that
untranslatable posix acls will not be stored by filesystems.

- In getxattr if we are reading a posix acl convert uids and gids from
the initial user namespace into the current user namespace.

Uids and gids that can not be tranlsated into the current user namespace
will be represented as -1.

- Replace e_id in struct posix_acl_entry with an anymouns union of
e_uid and e_gid. For the short term retain the e_id field
until all of the users are converted.

- Don't set struct posix_acl.e_id in the cases where the acl type
does not use e_id. Greatly reducing the use of ACL_UNDEFINED_ID.

- Rework the ordering checks in posix_acl_valid so that I use kuid_t
and kgid_t types throughout the code, and so that I don't need
arithmetic on uid and gid types.

NFS: Prevent memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode()

nfsacl_encode() allocates memory in certain cases. This of course
is not guaranteed to work.

Since commit 9f06c719 "SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR encoder API", the
kernel's XDR encoders can't return a result indicating possibly a
failure, so a memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode() has become
fatal (ie, the XDR code Oopses) in some cases.

However, the allocated memory is a tiny fixed amount, on the order
of 40-50 bytes. We can easily use a stack-allocated buffer for
this, with only a wee bit of nose-holding.
