move_mount: allow to add a mount into an existing group
Previously a sharing group (shared and master ids pair) can be only inherited when mount is created via bindmount. This patch adds an ability to add an existing private mount into an existing sharing group. With this functionality one can first create the desired mount tree from only private mounts (without the need to care about undesired mount propagation or mount creation order implied by sharing group dependencies), and next then setup any desired mount sharing between those mounts in tree as needed. This allows CRIU to restore any set of mount namespaces, mount trees and sharing group trees for a container. We have many issues with restoring mounts in CRIU related to sharing groups and propagation: - reverse sharing groups vs mount tree order requires complex mounts reordering which mostly implies also using some temporary mounts (please see https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/23/569 for more info) - mount() syscall creates tons of mounts due to propagation - mount re-parenting due to propagation - "Mount Trap" due to propagation - "Non Uniform" propagation, meaning that with different tricks with mount order and temporary children-"lock" mounts one can create mount trees which can't be restored without those tricks (see https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/640/) With this new functionality we can resolve all the problems with propagation at once.
