[PATCH] virt: vbox: Do not report user namespace root as root to the host

[Hungyu Lin <dennylin0707@gmail.com>]

vbg_misc_device_requestor() decides whether the opener of the vboxguest
or vboxuser device is reported to the host as root:

	if (from_kuid(current_user_ns(), current_uid()) == 0)
		requestor |= VMMDEV_REQUESTOR_USR_ROOT;

from_kuid() translates the uid into the user namespace of the caller.
An unprivileged user who creates a user namespace and maps their uid to
0 in it is therefore reported as VMMDEV_REQUESTOR_USR_ROOT for every
request of that session, although the uid has no privileges outside of
that namespace. The host uses the user class to account the HGCM
requests of a session, so such a user is charged to the budget of root
instead of the one for ordinary users.

Compare the uid against GLOBAL_ROOT_UID so that only root in the initial
user namespace is reported as root.
