[PATCH v3 27/38] would_dump: handle idmapped mounts

When determining whether or not to create a coredump the vfs will verify that
the caller is privileged over the inode. Make the would_dump() helper handle
idmapped mounts by passing down the mount's user namespace of the exec file. If
the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will
see identical behavior as before.
