Subject: [PATCH v4 02/21] fs: Remove check of s_user_ns for existing mounts in fs_fully_visible()

fs_fully_visible() ignores MNT_LOCK_NODEV when FS_USERS_DEV_MOUNT
is not set for the filesystem, but there is a bug in the logic
that may cause mounting to fail. It is doing this only when the
existing mount is not in init_user_ns but should check the new
mount instead. But the new mount is always in a non-init
namespace when fs_fully_visible() is called, so that condition
can simply be removed.
