nsfs: add ioctl to get an owning user namespace for ns file descriptor

Each namespace has an owning user namespace and now there is not way
to discover these relationships.

Understending namespaces relationships allows to answer the question:
what capability does process X have to perform operations on a resource
governed by namespace Y?

After a long discussion, Eric W. Biederman proposed to use ioctl-s for
this purpose.

The NS_GET_USERNS ioctl returns a file descriptor to an owning user
namespace.
It returns EPERM if a target namespace is outside of a current user
namespace.

v2: rename parent to relative

v3: Add a missing mntput when returning -EAGAIN --EWB
