Make the two locations where exportfs helpers check permission to lookup a given inode idmapped mount aware by switching it to the lookup_one() helper. This is a bugfix for the open_by_handle_at() system call which doesn't take idmapped mounts into account currently. It's not tied to a specific commit so we'll just Cc stable.
In addition this is required to support idmapped base layers in overlay. The overlay filesystem uses exportfs to encode and decode file handles for its index=on mount option and when nfs_export=on.
This probably wants a Fixes tag, as without it NFS exporting idmapped file will give slightly unexpected results.
I made it so that the nfs kernel server will refuse to be mounted on top of idmapped mounts in check_export() similar to what I did originally do for overlayfs. It's unclear what the Fixes: tag would be so I'll just Cc stable.
Otherwise looks fine:
