Subject: [RFC][PATCH 4/3] vfs: Allow rmdir to remove mounts in all but the current mount namespace


Programs have been known to test for empty directories by attempting
to remove them.  To keep from violating the principle of least
surprise don't let directories the caller can see with someting
mounted on them be deleted.

With a little luck this may prevent commands stupid commands
like rm -rf from eating your system.
