nvmap: Optionally check global list for IOC_GET_ID
For NVMAP_IOC_GET_ID, if the requested handle isn't found in the
client-private list, check the device-wide handles if allowed (global
handles or superuser).
The proper way to share memory between clients is to first call
IOC_GET_ID from the client who owns the memory, pass the resulting ID to
the new client, and then use IOC_FROM_ID in the new client to get a
handle. However, some (broken) legacy applications did both IOC_GET_ID
and IOC_FROM_ID steps in the new client. To support those applications
but hopefully prevent new applications from growing the same behavior,
the NVMAP_SEARCH_GLOBAL_HANDLES config option was added that restores
the old behavior (default N).
Note that even with this option enabled, the client issuing the
IOC_GET_ID call must be privileged to access the handle provided. In
practice, this means the global list search only works for clients who
have opened the /dev/knvmap super device node.
