Nice. Precise and clear, please just drop these bullet points into the
kernel-doc of that function.

For a v2 cap that we read vfs_caps->rootid will be vfsuid 0, right?
So that means we're guaranteed to resolve that in the initial user
namespace. IOW, rootid_owns_currentns() will indeed work with a pure v2
cap. Ok. Just making sure that I understand that this won't cause
EOVERFLOW for v2. But you would've likely seen that in tests right away.
