Subject: [PATCH 03/11] uml - hostfs: make hostfs= option work as a jail, as intended.

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@...oo.it>

When a given host directory is specified to be mounted both in hostfs=path1 and
with mount option -o path2, we should give access to path1/path2, but this does
not happen. Fix that in the simpler way.

Also, root_ino can be the empty string, since we use %s/%s as format.
