Introduce ovl_do_notify_change() as a simple wrapper around notify_change() to support idmapped layers. The helper mirrors other ovl_do_*() helpers that operate on the upper layers. When changing ownership of an upper object the intended ownership needs to be mapped according to the upper layer's idmapping. This mapping is the inverse to the mapping applied when copying inode information from an upper layer to the corresponding overlay inode. So e.g., when an upper mount maps files that are stored on-disk as owned by id 1001 to 1000 this means that calling stat on this object from an idmapped mount will report the file as being owned by id 1000. Consequently in order to change ownership of an object in this filesystem so it appears as being owned by id 1000 in the upper idmapped layer it needs to store id 1001 on disk. The mnt mapping helpers take care of this. All idmapping helpers are nops when no idmapped base layers are used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
