acl: move idmapping handling into posix_acl_xattr_set()
The uapi POSIX ACL struct passed through the value argument during setxattr() contains {g,u}id values encoded via ACL_{GROUP,USER} entries that should actually be stored in the form of k{g,u}id_t (See [1] for a long explanation of the issue.). In 0c5fd887d2bb ("acl: move idmapped mount fixup into vfs_{g,s}etxattr()") we took the mount's idmapping into account in order to let overlayfs handle POSIX ACLs on idmapped layers correctly. The fixup is currently performed directly in vfs_setxattr() which piles on top of the earlier hackiness by handling the mount's idmapping and stuff the vfs{g,u}id_t values into the uapi struct as well. While that is all correct and works fine it's just ugly. Now that we have introduced vfs_make_posix_acl() earlier move handling idmapped mounts out of vfs_setxattr() and into the POSIX ACL handler where it belongs. Note that we also need to call vfs_make_posix_acl() for EVM which interpretes POSIX ACLs during security_inode_setxattr(). Leave them a longer comment for future reference. All filesystems that support idmapped mounts via FS_ALLOW_IDMAP use the standard POSIX ACL xattr handlers and are covered by this change. This includes overlayfs which simply calls vfs_{g,s}etxattr(). The following filesystems use custom POSIX ACL xattr handlers: 9p, cifs, ecryptfs, and ntfs3 (and overlayfs but we've covered that in the paragraph above) and none of them support idmapped mounts yet.
