Subject: mnt: Refactor the logic for mounting sysfs and proc in a user namespace

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

commit 1b852bceb0d111e510d1a15826ecc4a19358d512 upstream.

Fresh mounts of proc and sysfs are a very special case that works very
much like a bind mount.  Unfortunately the current structure can not
preserve the MNT_LOCK... mount flags.  Therefore refactor the logic
into a form that can be modified to preserve those lock bits.

Add a new filesystem flag FS_USERNS_VISIBLE that requires some mount
of the filesystem be fully visible in the current mount namespace,
before the filesystem may be mounted.

Move the logic for calling fs_fully_visible from proc and sysfs into
fs/namespace.c where it has greater access to mount namespace state.
