setns support for the mount namespace is a little tricky as an
arbitrary decision must be made about what to set fs->root and
fs->pwd to, as there is no expectation of a relationship between
the two mount namespaces. Therefore I arbitrarily find the root
mount point, and follow every mount on top of it to find the top
of the mount stack. Then I set fs->root and fs->pwd to that
location. The topmost root of the mount stack seems like a
reasonable place to be.
Bind mount support for the mount namespace inodes has the
possibility of creating circular dependencies between mount
namespaces. Circular dependencies can result in loops that
prevent mount namespaces from every being freed. I avoid
creating those circular dependencies by adding a sequence number
to the mount namespace and require all bind mounts be of a
younger mount namespace into an older mount namespace.
Add a helper function proc_ns_inode so it is possible to
detect when we are attempting to bind mound a namespace inode.

don't rely on proc_mounts->m being the first field; container_of()
is there for purpose. No need to bother with ->private, while
we are at it - the same container_of will do nicely.

it's enough to set ->mnt_ns of internal vfsmounts to something
distinct from all struct mnt_namespace out there; then we can
just use the check for ->mnt_ns != NULL in the fast path of
mntput_no_expire()

Keep track of vfsmounts belonging to a superblock. List is protected
by vfsmount_lock.

Almost all fields of struct vfsmount are used only by core VFS (and
a fairly small part of it, at that). The plan: embed struct vfsmount
into struct mount, making the latter visible only to core parts of VFS.
Then move fields from vfsmount to mount, eventually leaving only
mnt_root/mnt_sb/mnt_flags in struct vfsmount. Filesystem code still
gets pointers to struct vfsmount and remains unchanged; all such
pointers go to struct vfsmount embedded into the instances of struct
mount allocated by fs/namespace.c. When fs/namespace.c et.al. get
a pointer to vfsmount, they turn it into pointer to mount (using
container_of) and work with that.
This is the first part of series; struct mount is introduced,
allocation switched to using it.

vfsmounts have ->mnt_parent pointing either to a different vfsmount
or to itself; it's never NULL and termination condition in loops
traversing the tree towards root is mnt == mnt->mnt_parent. At least
one place (see the next patch) is confused about what's going on;
let's add an explicit helper checking it right way and use it in
all places where we need it. Not that there had been too many,
but...
