b0e77598f8 userns: user namespaces: convert several capable() calls
CAP_IPC_OWNER and CAP_IPC_LOCK can be checked against current_user_ns(),
because the resource comes from current's own ipc namespace.

setuid/setgid are to uids in own namespace, so again checks can be against
current_user_ns().

Changelog:
	Jan 11: Use task_ns_capable() in place of sched_capable().
	Jan 11: Use nsown_capable() as suggested by Bastian Blank.
	Jan 11: Clarify (hopefully) some logic in futex and sched.c
	Feb 15: use ns_capable for ipc, not nsown_capable
	Feb 23: let copy_ipcs handle setting ipc_ns->user_ns
	Feb 23: pass ns down rather than taking it from current

1c24de60e5 kernel/groups.c: fix integer overflow in groups_search
gid_t is a unsigned int.  If group_info contains a gid greater than
MAX_INT, groups_search() function may look on the wrong side of the search
tree.

This solves some unfair "permission denied" problems.

30639b6af8 groups: move code to kernel/groups.c
Move supplementary groups implementation to kernel/groups.c .
kernel/sys.c already accumulated quite a few random stuff.

Do strictly copy/paste + add required headers to compile.  Compile-tested
on many configs and archs.
