Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already
mounted when the user namespace is created.

proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is
per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces
are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that
is shared between every instance.

Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs
by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time
the user namespace was created.

In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are
mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all
(some form of mount namespace jail).

- The context in which proc and sysfs are mounted have no
  effect on the the uid/gid of their files so no conversion is
  needed except allowing the mount.

Pass mount flags to sget() so that it can use them in initialising a new
superblock before the set function is called.  They could also be passed to the
compare function.

a) -&gt;d_iput() is wrong here - what we do to inode is completely usual, it's
dentry-&gt;d_fsdata that we want to drop.  Just use -&gt;d_release().

b) switch to -&gt;s_d_op - no need to play with d_set_d_op()

There is a misleading difference between /proc and /sys permissions, /proc is 0555 and /sys is 0755. But
as it is impossible to create or unlink something in /sys it would be nice to have same permissions.

<title>Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to it</title>

	* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory
	* new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (-&gt;drop_ns())
	* -&gt;current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding -&gt;drop_ns().  For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped.  Method renamed to -&gt;grab_current_ns().
	* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
	* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in -&gt;ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL.  That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb-&gt;s_instances abuse.

	Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()
is called exactly when it used to be called.  The only thing postponed by
having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of
memory occupied by struct net.
