binfmt_misc: enable sandboxed mounts

Enable unprivileged sandboxes to create their own binfmt_misc mounts.
This is based on Laurent's work in [1] but has been significantly
reworked to fix various issues we identified in earlier versions.

While binfmt_misc can currently only be mounted in the initial user
namespace, binary types registered in this binfmt_misc instance are
available to all sandboxes (Either by having them installed in the
sandbox or by registering the binary type with the F flag causing the
interpreter to be opened right away). So binfmt_misc binary types are
already delegated to sandboxes implicitly.

However, while a sandbox has access to all registered binary types in
binfmt_misc a sandbox cannot currently register its own binary types
in binfmt_misc. This has prevented various use-cases some of which were
already outlined in [1] but we have a range of issues associated with
this (cf. [3]-[5] below which are just a small sample).

Extend binfmt_misc to be mountable in non-initial user namespaces.
Similar to other filesystem such as nfsd, mqueue, and sunrpc we use
keyed superblock management. The key determines whether we need to
create a new superblock or can reuse an already existing one. We use the
user namespace of the mount as key. This means a new binfmt_misc
superblock is created once per user namespace creation. Subsequent
mounts of binfmt_misc in the same user namespace will mount the same
binfmt_misc instance. We explicitly do not create a new binfmt_misc
superblock on every binfmt_misc mount as the semantics for
load_misc_binary() line up with the keying model. This also allows us to
retrieve the relevant binfmt_misc instance based on the caller's user
namespace which can be done in a simple (bounded to 32 levels) loop.

Similar to the current binfmt_misc semantics allowing access to the
binary types in the initial binfmt_misc instance we do allow sandboxes
access to their parent's binfmt_misc mounts if they do not have created
a separate binfmt_misc instance.

Overall, this will unblock the use-cases mentioned below and in general
will also allow to support and harden execution of another
architecture's binaries in tight sandboxes. For instance, using the
unshare binary it possible to start a chroot of another architecture and
configure the binfmt_misc interpreter without being root to run the
binaries in this chroot and without requiring the host to modify its
binary type handlers.

Henning had already posted a few experiments in the cover letter at [1].
But here's an additional example where an unprivileged container
registers qemu-user-static binary handlers for various binary types in
its separate binfmt_misc mount and is then seamlessly able to start
containers with a different architecture without affecting the host:

/* v2 */
- Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com>:
  - Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for userspace triggered allocations when a
    new binary type handler is registered.
- Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com>:
  - Switch authorship to me. I refused to do that earlier even though
    Laurent said I should do so because I think it's genuinely bad form.
    But by now I have changed so many things that it'd be unfair to
    blame Laurent for any potential bugs in here.
  - Add more comments that explain what's going on.
  - Rename functions while changing them to better reflect what they are
    doing to make the code easier to understand.
  - In the first version when a specific binary type handler was removed
    either through a write to the entry's file or all binary type
    handlers were removed by a write to the binfmt_misc mount's status
    file all cleanup work happened during inode eviction.
    That includes removal of the relevant entries from entry list. While
    that works fine I disliked that model after thinking about it for a
    bit. Because it means that there was a window were someone has
    already removed a or all binary handlers but they could still be
    safely reached from load_misc_binary() when it has managed to take
    the read_lock() on the entries list while inode eviction was already
    happening. Again, that perfectly benign but it's cleaner to remove
    the binary handler from the list immediately meaning that ones the
    write to then entry's file or the binfmt_misc status file returns
    the binary type cannot be executed anymore. That gives stronger
    guarantees to the user.
