I am not sure that now shadow mounts are worked as you described
here. start_umount_propagation() doesn't remove a mount from mnt_hash,
so in a second time we will look up the same mount again.

Look at this script:

[root@fc24 mounts]# cat ./opus02.sh
set -e
mkdir -p /mnt
mount -t tmpfs zdtm /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/A/a
mkdir -p /mnt/B/a
mount --bind --make-shared /mnt/A /mnt/A
mount --bind /mnt/A /mnt/B
mount --bind /mnt/A/a /mnt/A/a
mount --bind /mnt/A/a /mnt/A/a

umount -l /mnt/A
cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep zdtm

[root@fc24 mounts]# unshare --propagation private -m ./opus02.sh
159 121 0:46 / /mnt rw,relatime - tmpfs zdtm rw
162 159 0:46 /A /mnt/B rw,relatime shared:67 - tmpfs zdtm rw
167 162 0:46 /A/a /mnt/B/a rw,relatime shared:67 - tmpfs zdtm rw

We mount nothing into /mnt/B, but when we umount everything from A, we
still have something in B.

Thanks,
