use uniform permission checks for all mount propagation changes
[ Upstream commit cffd044 ]
do_change_type() and do_set_group() are operating on different
aspects of the same thing - propagation graph. The latter
asks for mounts involved to be mounted in namespace(s) the caller
has CAP_SYS_ADMIN for. The former is a mess - originally it
didn't even check that mount *is* mounted. That got fixed,
but the resulting check turns out to be too strict for userland -
in effect, we check that mount is in our namespace, having already
checked that we have CAP_SYS_ADMIN there.
What we really need (in both cases) is
* only touch mounts that are mounted. That's a must-have
constraint - data corruption happens if it get violated.
* don't allow to mess with a namespace unless you already
have enough permissions to do so (i.e. CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its userns).
That's an equivalent of what do_set_group() does; let's extract that
into a helper (may_change_propagation()) and use it in both
do_set_group() and do_change_type().
Fixes: 12f147d "do_change_type(): refuse to operate on unmounted/not ours mounts"
