Zhang Tianci 56abf8046b ovl: Use ovl mounter's fsuid and fsgid in ovl_link()
commit 5b0db51215 upstream.

There is a wrong case of link() on overlay:
  $ mkdir /lower /fuse /merge
  $ mount -t fuse /fuse
  $ mkdir /fuse/upper /fuse/work
  $ mount -t overlay /merge -o lowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/fuse/upper,\
    workdir=work
  $ touch /merge/file
  $ chown bin.bin /merge/file // the file's caller becomes "bin"
  $ ln /merge/file /merge/lnkfile

Then we will get an error(EACCES) because fuse daemon checks the link()'s
caller is "bin", it denied this request.

In the changing history of ovl_link(), there are two key commits:

The first is commit bb0d2b8ad2 ("ovl: fix sgid on directory") which
overrides the cred's fsuid/fsgid using the new inode. The new inode's
owner is initialized by inode_init_owner(), and inode->fsuid is
assigned to the current user. So the override fsuid becomes the
current user. We know link() is actually modifying the directory, so
the caller must have the MAY_WRITE permission on the directory. The
current caller may should have this permission. This is acceptable
to use the caller's fsuid.

The second is commit 51f7e52dc9 ("ovl: share inode for hard link")
which removed the inode creation in ovl_link(). This commit move
inode_init_owner() into ovl_create_object(), so the ovl_link() just
give the old inode to ovl_create_or_link(). Then the override fsuid
becomes the old inode's fsuid, neither the caller nor the overlay's
mounter! So this is incorrect.

Fix this bug by using ovl mounter's fsuid/fsgid to do underlying
fs's link().
