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.
