vfs: Use upper filesystem inode in bprm_fill_uid()



Right now bprm_fill_uid() uses inode fetched from file_inode(bprm->file).
This in turn returns inode of lower filesystem (in a stacked filesystem
setup).

I was playing with modified patches of shiftfs posted by james bottomley
and realized that through shiftfs setuid bit does not take effect. And
reason being that we fetch uid/gid from inode of lower fs (and not from
shiftfs inode). And that results in following checks failing.

/* We ignore suid/sgid if there are no mappings for them in the ns */
if (!kuid_has_mapping(bprm->cred->user_ns, uid) ||
    !kgid_has_mapping(bprm->cred->user_ns, gid))
	return;

uid/gid fetched from lower fs inode might not be mapped inside the user
namespace of container. So we need to look at uid/gid fetched from
upper filesystem (shiftfs in this particular case) and these should be
mapped and setuid bit can take affect.
