If a capability is stored on disk in v2 format cap_inode_getsecurity() will
currently return in v2 format unconditionally.

This is wrong: v2 cap should be equivalent to a v3 cap with zero rootid,
and so the same conversions performed on it.

If the rootid cannot be mapped v3 is returned unconverted.  Fix this so
that both v2 and v3 return -EOVERFLOW if the rootid (or the owner of the fs
user namespace in case of v2) cannot be mapped in the current user
namespace.
This looks like a good cleanup.

I do wonder how well this works with stacking.  In particular
ovl_xattr_set appears to call vfs_getxattr without overriding the creds.
What the purpose of that is I haven't quite figured out.  It looks like
it is just a probe to see if an xattr is present so maybe it is ok.
