Allow users to delete the snapshots/subvols they own.  Instead of
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, require that

 - the user has write and exec permission on the parent directory
 - security_inode_rmdir() doesn't object
 - the user has write and exec permission on the subvol directory
 - the user owns the subvol directory
 - the directory and subvol append flags are not set

This is a bit more strict than the requirements for 'rm -f subvol/*',
which is allowed with just 'wx' on non-owned non-sticky dirs.  It is less
strict than 'rmdir subvol', which has additional requirements if the parent
directory is sticky.  It is less strict than 'rm -rf subvol', which would
require scanning the entire subvol to ensure all content is deletable.
