[PATCH v2 0/3] introduce a uid/gid shifting bind mount

[James Bottomley]

The object of this series is to replace shiftfs with a proper uid/gid
shifting bind mount instead of the shiftfs hack of introducing
something that looks similar to an overlay filesystem to do it.

The VFS still has the problem that in order to tell what vfsmount a
dentry belongs to, struct path would have to be threaded everywhere
struct dentry currently is.  However, this patch is structured only to
require a rethreading of notify_change.  The rest of the knowledge
that a shift is in operation is carried in the task structure by
caching the unshifted credentials.

The only real change from v1 is that the notify_change patch is
updated to fix the issues pointed out by Amir Goldstein.  And I've
combined the precursor patch to rethread notify_changes into the
series.
