fs: introduce tiny iattr ownership update helpers
Nearly all fileystems currently open-code the same checks for determining whether the i_{g,u}id fields of an inode need to be updated and then updating the fields. Introduce tiny helpers i_{g,u}id_needs_update() and i_{g,u}id_update() that wrap this logic. This allows filesystems to not care about updating inode->i_{g,u}id with the correct values themselves instead leaving this to the helpers. We also get rid of a lot of code duplication and make it easier to change struct iattr in the future since changes can be localized to these helpers. And finally we make it hard to conflate k{g,u}id_t types with vfs{g,u}id_t types for filesystems that support idmapped mounts. In the following patch we will port all filesystems that raise FS_ALLOW_IDMAP to use the new helpers. However, the ultimate goal is to convert all filesystems to make use of these helpers. All new helpers are nops on non-idmapped mounts.
