fs: Check for invalid i_uid in may_follow_link()

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 2d7f9e2ad35e4e7a3086231f19bfab33c6a8a64a ]

Filesystem uids which don't map into a user namespace may result
in inode->i_uid being INVALID_UID. A symlink and its parent
could have different owners in the filesystem can both get
mapped to INVALID_UID, which may result in following a symlink
when this would not have otherwise been permitted when protected
symlinks are enabled.
