Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains two fixes for this merge window:

  VFS:

   - I noticed that it is possible for a privileged user to mount most
     filesystems with a non-initial user namespace in sb->s_user_ns.

     When fsopen() is called in a non-init namespace the caller's
     namespace is recorded in fs_context->user_ns. If the returned file
     descriptor is then passed to a process privileged in init_user_ns,
     that process can call fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE*),
     creating a new superblock with sb->s_user_ns set to the namespace
     of the process which called fsopen().

     This is problematic as only filesystems that raise FS_USERNS_MOUNT
     are known to be able to support a non-initial s_user_ns. Others may
     suffer security issues, on-disk corruption or outright crash the
     kernel. Prevent that by restricting such delegation to filesystems
     that allow FS_USERNS_MOUNT.

     Note, that this delegation requires a privileged process to
     actually create the superblock so either the privileged process is
     cooperaing or someone must have tricked a privileged process into
     operating on a fscontext file descriptor whose origin it doesn't
     know (a stupid idea).

     The bug dates back to about 5 years afaict.

  Misc:

   - Fix hostfs parsing when the mount request comes in via the legacy
     mount api.

     In the legacy mount api hostfs allows to specify the host directory
     mount without any key.

     Restore that behavior"
