Pull fs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains two minor updates:

   - An update to the idmapping documentation by Rodrigo making it
     easier to understand that we first introduce several use-cases that
     fail without idmapped mounts simply to explain how they can be
     handled with idmapped mounts.

   - When changing a mount's idmapping we now hold writers to make it
     more robust.

     This is similar to turning a mount ro with the difference that in
     contrast to turning a mount ro changing the idmapping can only ever
     be done once while a mount can transition between ro and rw as much
     as it wants.

     The vfs layer itself takes care to retrieve the idmapping of a
     mount once ensuring that the idmapping used for vfs permission
     checking is identical to the idmapping passed down to the
     filesystem. All filesystems with FS_ALLOW_IDMAP raised take the
     same precautions as the vfs in code-paths that are outside of
     direct control of the vfs such as ioctl()s.

     However, holding writers makes this more robust and predictable for
     both the kernel and userspace.

     This is a minor user-visible change. But it is extremely unlikely
     to matter. The caller must've created a detached mount via
     OPEN_TREE_CLONE and then handed that O_PATH fd to another process
     or thread which then must've gotten a writable fd for that mount
     and started creating files in there while the caller is still
     changing mount properties. While not impossible it will be an
     extremely rare corner-case and should in general be considered a
     bug in the application. Consider making a mount MOUNT_ATTR_NOEXEC
     or MOUNT_ATTR_NODEV while allowing someone else to perform lookups
     or exec'ing in parallel by handing them a copy of the
     OPEN_TREE_CLONE fd or another fd beneath that mount.

     I've pinged all major users of idmapped mounts pointing out this
     change and none of them have active writers on a mount while still
     changing mount properties. It would've been strange if they did.

  The rest and majority of the work will be coming through the overlayfs
  tree this cycle. In addition to overlayfs this cycle should also see
  support for idmapped mounts on erofs as I've acked a patch to this
  effect a little while ago"
