[Devel] [RFC][PATCH 2/4][cr]: Define __f_setown_uid()

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

__f_setown_uid() is same as __f_setown(), except that instead of assuming the
uid and euid of current process, it expects them to be passed in as parameters.

This interface will be useful when checkpointing and restarting an application
that has a 'file owner' specified for any of the application's open files.
The uid, euid of the process setting up the owner is saved in the checkpoint
image. When the application is restarted, the save uid and euid values are
restored.
