If both the mount namespace and the mount point support UID/GID shifts,
then before doing any permission check, translate inode->{i_uid|i_gid}
into the kernel virtual view, then use the result to do the permission
checks. If there is no support for UID/GID shifts, we fallback to
inode->{i_uid|i_gid} on-disk values.

The VFS will shift these values to the virtual view, the result
will be used to compare with current's fsuid and fsgid and to perform
classic or capable checks. Since inode->{i_uid|i_gid} will always
contain the on-disk values we do the virtual translation when an access
is needed.

This solves the problem of privileged userns or users inside containers
that want to access files, but the access fails since VFS uses their
global kuid/kgid.

* CAPS: means capabilities, the access was granted due to the capabilities
  of the caller inside user_ns_X and the shifted UID/GID of the inode are
  also mapped in that user_ns_X

Privileged root user namespaces with uid 0 inside the container will be
able to access inodes->i_uid == 0 on-disk if that inode is on a file
system that supports VFS UID/GID shifts and the caller is inside a mount
namespace that also supports the above.
