From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

Allow bind mounts to unprivileged users if the following conditions are met:

  - mountpoint is not a symlink
  - parent mount is owned by the user
  - the number of user mounts is below the maximum

Unprivileged mounts imply MS_SETUSER, and will also have the "nosuid" and
"nodev" mount flags set.

In particular, if mounting process doesn't have CAP_SETUID capability,
then the "nosuid" flag will be added, and if it doesn't have CAP_MKNOD
capability, then the "nodev" flag will be added.
