    pid namespaces: introduce MS_KERNMOUNT flag · 8bf9725c

    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.
