vfs: Don't copy mount bind mounts of /proc/<pid>/ns/mnt between namespaces



Don't copy bind mounts of /proc/<pid>/ns/mnt between namespaces.
These files hold references to a mount namespace and copying them
between namespaces could result in a reference counting loop.

The current mnt_ns_loop test prevents loops on the assumption that
mounts don't cross between namespaces.  Unfortunately unsharing a
mount namespace and shared substrees can both cause mounts to
propogate between mount namespaces.

Add two flags CL_COPY_UNBINDABLE and CL_COPY_MNT_NS_FILE are added to
control this behavior, and CL_COPY_ALL is redefined as both of them.
