I'm thinking of is something like this: A listener registers interest in "/",
recursively. The kernel sets a FSNOTIFY_WATCH_RECURSIVE flag on "/" and each
mount point below. Afterwards when something is mounted anywhere, same
namespace or not, the kernel sets the new mount's FSNOTIFY_WATCH_RECURSIVE
flag if the parent mount has this flag set.
(Of course we need per fsnotify_group flags and not global ones, but this
doesn't change the principle.)
