Nikolay Borisov 82a1b2d628 Check whether the kernel supports i_uid/gid_read/write helpers
Since the concept of a kuid and the need to translate from it to
ordinary integer type was added in kernel version 3.5 implement necessary
plumbing to be able to detect this condition during compile time. If
the kernel doesn't support the kuid then just fall back to directly
accessing the respective struct inode's members
