Subject: [PATCH 5/6] fsmount: do not use legacy MS_ flags

What happens if we introduce new flags for fsmount(2) and are already out
of flags for mount(2)?  I see a big mess that way.

So let's instead start a clean new set, to be used in the new API.

The MS_RELATIME flag was accepted but ignored.  Simply leave this out of
the new set, since "relatime" is the default.

The MNT_ prefix is already used by libmount, and we don't want any
confusion arising from that.  MOUNT_ feels a bit too long, so just go with
the short and sweet M_ prefix.
