pid namespaces: introduce MS_KERNMOUNT flag
This flag tells the .get_sb callback that this is a kern_mount() call so that it can trust *data pointer to be valid in-kernel one. If this flag is passed from the user process, it is cleared since the *data pointer is not a valid kernel object. Running a few steps forward - this will be needed for proc to create the superblock and store a valid pid namespace on it during the namespace creation. The reason, why the namespace cannot live without proc mount is described in the appropriate patch.
