Cache user_ns in struct cred
If !CONFIG_USERNS, have current_user_ns() defined to (&init_user_ns).
Get rid of _current_user_ns. This requires nsown_capable() to be
defined in capability.c rather than as static inline in capability.h,
so do that.
Request_key needs init_user_ns defined at current_user_ns if
!CONFIG_USERNS, so forward-declare that in cred.h if !CONFIG_USERNS
at current_user_ns() define.
Compile-tested with and without CONFIG_USERNS.

[ This makes a huge performance difference for acl_permission_check(),
up to 30%. And that is one of the hottest kernel functions for loads
that are pathname-lookup heavy. ]
