Subject: [RFC PATCH 09/27] vfs: Allow mounting to other namespaces

Currently sys_move_mount() and sys_mount(MS_MOVE) prevent the caller from
moving a mount into a namespace not their own.  Relax this such that any
mount can be mounted onto any given mountpoint provided that the source
mount is either detached or the same namespace as the destination.

This permits container namespaces to be built from the outside rather than
from the inside.
