Note that this is likely going to clash with my patch to net-namespace all of
the afs proc files:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit/?h=mount-context&id=f60c26c827c073583107ebf19d87bc5c0e71c3d2

If it helps, I should be able to disentangle this from the mount-api changes
since the subsequent patch connects the dots to propagate the network
namespace over automount using the new fs_context to do it.
