Subject: [PATCH] LSM: MntRestrict blocks mounts on symlink targets

On systems where certain filesystem contents cannot be entirely trusted,
it is beneficial to block mounts on symlinks. This makes sure that
malicious filesystem contents cannot trigger the over-mounting of trusted
filesystems. (For example, a bind-mounted subdirectory of /var cannot be
redirected to mount on /etc via a symlink: a daemon cannot elevate privs
to uid-0.)

+	  Enforces that rule that symlinks cannot be used as mount
+	  destinations across the entire system. This is to make sure
+	  it is never possible to redirect locations using symlinks
+	  when the process doing the mount may not be able to strictly
+	  trust the contents of the filesystem where it is happening. For
+	  example, making sure a bind mounted subdirectory in /var is not

+	  from elevating to uid-0 by tricking the system init filesystem
+	  mounting infrastructure.
