Clarify the rootid_owns_currentns
Split most of the rootid_owns_currentns() functionality into a more generic rootid_owns_ns() function which will be easier to write tests for. Rename the functions and variables to make clear that the ids being tested could be any uid. Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> CC: Ryan Foster <foster.ryan.r@gmail.com> CC: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> --- v2: change the function parameter documentation to mollify the bot.
