3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>

commit 5820f140edef111a9ea2ef414ab2428b8cb805b1 upstream.

The old code would hold the userns_state_mutex indefinitely if
memdup_user_nul stalled due to e.g. a userfault region. Prevent that by
moving the memdup_user_nul in front of the mutex_lock().

Note: This changes the error precedence of invalid buf/count/*ppos vs
map already written / capabilities missing.

Fixes: 22d917d80e84 ("userns: Rework the user_namespace adding uid/gid...")
