The is_userns_visible() bits seems to be an attempt at understanding
what people would want per-mount, with a policy hard coded in the
kernel.

But maybe per-mount behavior can be solved more elegantly with shifted
bind mounts, so we can drop all that from this series, and ignore
per-mount settings here?
