Idmapped mounts should not allow a user to map file ownsership into a
range of ids which is not under the control of that user. However, we
currently don't check whether the mounter is privileged wrt to the
target user namespace.

Currently no FS_USERNS_MOUNT filesystems support idmapped mounts, thus
this is not a problem as only CAP_SYS_ADMIN in init_user_ns is allowed
to set up idmapped mounts. But this could change in the future, so add a
check to refuse to create idmapped mounts when the mounter does not have
CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the target user namespace.

Fwiw, I think we can probably move the check into build_mount_idmapped()
right before we setup kattr->mnt_userns so we don't end up calling this
multiple times for each mount. But no need to resend for this. I can
move this. In general that seems like a good idea and good future
proofing,

That makes sense. Thanks!
