### Background
Various admin operations will be invoked by some userspace task, but the
work will be done on a separate kernel thread at a later time. Snapshots
are an example, which are triggered through zfs_ioc_snapshot() ->
dsl_dataset_snapshot(), but the actual work is from a task dispatched to
dp_sync_taskq.
Many such tasks end up in dsl_enforce_ds_ss_limits(), where various
limits and permissions are enforced. Among other things, it is necessary
to ensure that the invoking task (that is, the user) has permission to
do things. We can't simply check if the running task has permission; it
is a privileged kernel thread, which can do anything.
However, in the general case it's not safe to simply query the task for
its permissions at the check time, as the task may not exist any more,
or its permissions may have changed since it was first invoked. So
instead, we capture the permissions by saving CRED() in the user task,
and then using it for the check through the secpolicy_* functions.
### Current implementation
The current code calls CRED() to get the credential, which gets a
pointer to the cred_t inside the current task and passes it to the
worker task. However, it doesn't take a reference to the cred_t, and so
expects that it won't change, and that the task continues to exist. In
practice that is always the case, because we don't let the calling task
return from the kernel until the work is done.
For Linux, we also take a reference to the current task, because the
Linux credential APIs for the most part do not check an arbitrary
credential, but rather, query what a task can do. See
secpolicy_zfs_proc(). Again, we don't take a reference on the task, just
a pointer to it.
### Changes
We change to calling crhold() on the task credential, and crfree() when
we're done with it. This ensures it stays alive and unchanged for the
duration of the call.
On the Linux side, we change the main policy checking function
priv_policy_ns() to use override_creds()/revert_creds() if necessary to
make the provided credential active in the current task, allowing the
standard task-permission APIs to do the needed check. Since the task
pointer is no longer required, this lets us entirely remove
secpolicy_zfs_proc() and the need to carry a task pointer around as
well.

Linux 5.17 commit torvalds/linux@5dfbfe71e enables "the idmapping
infrastructure to support idmapped mounts of filesystems mounted
with an idmapping". Update the OpenZFS accordingly to improve the
idmapped mount support.
This pull request contains the following changes:
- xattr setter functions are fixed to take mnt_ns argument. Without
this, cp -p would fail for an idmapped mount in a user namespace.
- idmap_util is enhanced/fixed for its use in a user ns context.
- One test case added to test idmapped mount in a user ns.

In Linux 5.12, the filesystem API was modified to support ipmapped
mounts by adding a "struct user_namespace *" parameter to a number
functions and VFS handlers. This change adds the needed autoconf
macros to detect the new interfaces and updates the code appropriately.
This change does not add support for idmapped mounts, instead it
preserves the existing behavior by passing the initial user namespace
where needed. A subsequent commit will be required to add support
for idmapped mounted.

The filesystem_limit and snapshot_limit properties limit the number of
filesystems or snapshots that can be created below this dataset.
According to the manpage, "The limit is not enforced if the user is
allowed to change the limit." Two types of users are allowed to change
the limit:
1. Those that have been delegated the `filesystem_limit` or
`snapshot_limit` permission, e.g. with
`zfs allow USER filesystem_limit DATASET`. This works properly.
2. A user with elevated system privileges (e.g. root). This does not
work - the root user will incorrectly get an error when trying to create
a snapshot/filesystem, if it exceeds the `_limit` property.
The problem is that `priv_policy_ns()` does not work if the `cred_t` is
not that of the current process. This happens when
`dsl_enforce_ds_ss_limits()` is called in syncing context (as part of a
sync task's check func) to determine the permissions of the
corresponding user process.
This commit fixes the issue by passing the `task_struct` (typedef'ed as
a `proc_t`) to syncing context, and then using `has_capability()` to
determine if that process is privileged. Note that we still need to
pass the `cred_t` to syncing context so that we can check if the user
was delegated this permission with `zfs allow`.
This problem only impacts Linux. Wrappers are added to FreeBSD but it
continues to use `priv_check_cred()`, which works on arbitrary `cred_t`.

Increase the minimum supported kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10.
This removes support for the following Linux enterprise distributions.
Distribution | Kernel | End of Life
---------------- | ------ | -------------
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 3.2 | Apr 28, 2017
SLES 11 | 3.0 | Mar 32, 2019
RHEL / CentOS 6 | 2.6.32 | Nov 30, 2020
The following changes were made as part of removing support.
* Updated `configure` to enforce a minimum kernel version as
specified in the META file (Linux-Minimum: 3.10).
configure: error:
*** Cannot build against kernel version 2.6.32.
*** The minimum supported kernel version is 3.10.
* Removed all `configure` kABI checks and matching C code for
interfaces which solely predate the Linux 3.10 kernel.
* Updated all `configure` kABI checks to fail when an interface is
missing which was in the 3.10 kernel up to the latest 5.1 kernel.
Removed the HAVE_* preprocessor defines for these checks and
updated the code to unconditionally use the verified interface.
* Inverted the detection logic in several kABI checks to match
the new interface as it appears in 3.10 and newer and not the
legacy interface.
* Consolidated the following checks in to individual files. Due
the large number of changes in the checks it made sense to handle
this now. It would be desirable to group other related checks in
the same fashion, but this as left as future work.
- config/kernel-blkdev.m4 - Block device kABI checks
- config/kernel-blk-queue.m4 - Block queue kABI checks
- config/kernel-bio.m4 - Bio interface kABI checks
* Removed the kABI checks for sops->nr_cached_objects() and
sops->free_cached_objects(). These interfaces are currently unused.
