namei: add mapping aware lookup helper

Various filesystems rely on the lookup_one_len() helper to lookup a
single path component relative to a well-known starting point. Allow
such filesystems to support idmapped mounts by adding a version of this
helper to take the idmap into account when calling inode_permission().
This change is a required to let btrfs (and other filesystems) support
idmapped mounts.
