coda: Restrict coda messages to the initial user namespace
Remove the slight chance that uids and gids in coda messages will be
interpreted in the wrong user namespace.
- Only allow processes in the initial user namespace to open the coda
character device to communicate with coda filesystems.
- Explicitly convert the uids in the coda header into the initial user
namespace.
- In coda_vattr_to_attr make kuids and kgids from the initial user
namespace uids and gids in struct coda_vattr that just came from
userspace.
- In coda_iattr_to_vattr convert kuids and kgids into uids and gids
in the intial user namespace and store them in struct coda_vattr for
sending to coda userspace programs.
Nothing needs to be changed with mounts as coda does not support
being mounted in anything other than the initial user namespace.
