Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] implement OA2_INHERIT_CRED flag for openat2()

This patch-set implements the OA2_INHERIT_CRED flag for openat2() syscall.
It is needed to perform an open operation with the creds that were in
effect when the dir_fd was opened. This allows the process to pre-open
some dirs and switch eUID (and other UIDs/GIDs) to the less-privileged
user, while still retaining the possibility to open/create files within
the pre-opened directory set.

Changes in v2:
- capture full struct cred instead of just fsuid/fsgid.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fs: reorganize path_openat()

This patch moves the call to alloc_empty_file() below the call to
path_init(). That changes is needed for the next patch, which adds
a cred override for alloc_empty_file(). The needed cred info is only
available after the call to path_init().

No functional changes are intended by that patch.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] openat2: add OA2_INHERIT_CRED flag

This flag performs the open operation with the credentials that
were in effect when dir_fd was opened.
This allows the process to pre-open some directories and then
change eUID (and all other UIDs/GIDs) to a less-privileged user,
retaining the ability to open/create files within these directories.

Design goal:
The idea is to provide a very light-weight sandboxing, where the
process, without the use of any heavy-weight techniques like chroot
within namespaces, can restrict the access to the set of pre-opened
directories.
This patch is just a first step to such sandboxing. If things go
well, in the future the same extension can be added to more syscalls.
These should include at least unlinkat(), renameat2() and the
not-yet-upstreamed setxattrat().

Security considerations:
To avoid sandboxing escape, this patch makes sure the restricted
lookup modes are used. Namely, RESOLVE_BENEATH or RESOLVE_IN_ROOT.
To avoid leaking creds across exec, this patch requires O_CLOEXEC
flag on a directory.

Use cases:
Virtual machines that deal with untrusted code, can use that
instead of a more heavy-weighted approaches.
Currently the approach is being tested on a dosemu2 VM.

Done, thanks.
