fs: Fix file_set_fowner LSM hook inconsistencies



commit 26f204380a3c182e5adf1a798db0724d6111b597 upstream.

The fcntl's F_SETOWN command sets the process that handle SIGIO/SIGURG
for the related file descriptor.  Before this change, the
file_set_fowner LSM hook was always called, ignoring the VFS logic which
may not actually change the process that handles SIGIO (e.g. TUN, TTY,
dnotify), nor update the related UID/EUID.

Moreover, because security_file_set_fowner() was called without lock
(e.g. f_owner.lock), concurrent F_SETOWN commands could result to a race
condition and inconsistent LSM states (e.g. SELinux's fown_sid) compared
to struct fown_struct's UID/EUID.

This change makes sure the LSM states are always in sync with the VFS
state by moving the security_file_set_fowner() call close to the
UID/EUID updates and using the same f_owner.lock .

Rename f_modown() to __f_setown() to simplify code.
