statmount: simplify string option retrieval
The previous code was a bit too clever for what we currently support.
A few minor changes:
* Avoid indirect function calls and use a simple switch statement. We
really only have three cases to handle so it's not like it's massively
complex. We can switch to something more elaborate should we introduce
more complex options.
* Defer all copy_to_user() calls until after we've given up namespace
semaphore.
On kernels with userfaultfd it's possible to abuse copy_from/to_user()
calls to indefinitely block on page faults. That's usually a
privileged operation but may be made available to unprivileged users.
Independent of userfaultfd it's better to not do all the
copy_to_user() work while holding namespace semaphore. Instead collect
the information and then copy it out after we've given up all locks.
* This also folds a change from Arnd to reduce the stack size in
prepare_kstatmount() to avoid warning such as:
fs/namespace.c:4995:1: error: stack frame size (1536) exceeds limit (1024) in '__se_sys_statmount' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
