Hm, no. You really want inode_owner_or_capable() here..
You need to verify that you have a mapping for the inode->i_{g,u}id in
question and that you're having CAP_FOWNER in the caller's userns.

I'm pretty sure we should also restrict this to the case were the caller
actually created the file otherwise we introduce a potential issue where
the caller is susceptible to data spoofing. For example, the file was
created by another user racing the caller's O_CREAT.
