[PATCH] unbindable mounts
An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows.
Bind semantics:
It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.
Move semantics:
It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.
Clone-namespace semantics:
If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note:
there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
but can be cloned during clone-namespace.
