Its trying to ensure we only allow the XFS_IOC_FREE_EOFBLOCKS
caller to affect the indoes they should be able to.
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-06/msg00955.html has a bit more
background. This isn't really related to user namespaces per-se, so I
guess it should be a separate patch, but since I modified the
eofblocks structure I was trying to fix this as well.

So if there isn't a good way to check per-inode, maybe for now we
should just restrict the ioctl caller to be capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)?

I don't think it needs them (& is higher precedence than &&), but I can
add them for clarity if you like.

Yep, I'll update those too.

inode_permission() would catch that but I agree there is no point
waiting till then to find out.
