namespace: restrict OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE/FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE to directories

open_tree(..., OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE) and
fsmount(..., FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE, ...) currently work on non-directories,
like regular files. That's bad for two reasons:

 - It ends up mounting a regular file over the inherited namespace root,
   which is a directory; mounting a non-directory over a directory is
   normally explicitly forbidden, see for example do_move_mount()

 - It causes setns() on the new namespace to set the cwd to a regular
   file, which the rest of VFS does not expect

Fix it by restricting create_new_namespace() (which is used by both of
these flags) to directories.

Leave the behavior for OPEN_TREE_CLONE as-is, that seems unproblematic.
