NFSv4: Refactor to use user namespaces for nfs4idmap
In several patches work has been done to enable NFSv4 to use user namespaces: 58002399: NFSv4: Convert the NFS client idmapper to use the container user namespace 3b7eb5e3: NFS: When mounting, don't share filesystems between different user namespaces Unfortunately, the userspace APIs were only such that the userspace facing side of the filesystem (superblock s_user_ns) could be set to a non init user namespace. This furthers the fs_context related refactoring, and piggybacks on top of that logic, so the superblock user namespace, and the NFS user namespace are the same. Users can still use rpc.idmapd if they choose to, but there are complexities with user namespaces and request-key that have yet to be addresssed. Eventually, we will need to at least: * Come up with an upcall mechanism that can be triggered inside of the container, or safely triggered outside, with the requisite context to do the right mapping. * Handle whatever refactoring needs to be done in net/sunrpc.
