fs: port ->set_acl() to pass mnt_idmap

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

9p: implement set acl method

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].

In order to build a type safe posix api around get and set acl we need
all filesystem to implement get and set acl.

So far 9p implemented a ->get_inode_acl() operation that didn't require
access to the dentry in order to allow (limited) permission checking via
posix acls in the vfs. Now that we have get and set acl inode operations
that take a dentry argument we can give 9p get and set acl inode
operations.

This is mostly a light refactoring of the codepaths currently used in 9p
posix acl xattr handler. After we have fully implemented the posix acl
api and switched the vfs over to it, the 9p specific posix acl xattr
handler and associated code will be removed.

Note, until the vfs has been switched to the new posix acl api this
patch is a non-functional change.

9p: fix a bunch of checkpatch warnings

Sohaib Mohamed started a serie of tiny and incomplete checkpatch fixes but
seemingly stopped halfway -- take over and do most of it.
This is still missing net/9p/trans* and net/9p/protocol.c for a later
time...

fs: take the ACL checks to common code

Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an
ACL from disk after having a cache miss. This means we can replace the ACL
checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c.
