Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 09/10] mount_setattr: add CHECK_FIELDS flag to usize
 argument

As with openat2(2), this allows userspace to easily figure out what
flags and fields are supported by mount_setattr(2). As with clone3(2),
for fields which are not flag-based, we simply set every bit in the
field so that a naive bitwise-and would show that any value of the field
is valid.

The intended way of using this interface to get feature information
looks something like the following:

  static bool mountattr_nosymfollow_supported;
  static bool mountattr_idmap_supported;

  int check_clone3_support(void)
  {
      int err;
      struct mount_attr attr = {};

      err = mount_attr(-EBADF, "", 0, &args, CHECK_FIELDS | sizeof(args));
      assert(err < 0);
      switch (errno) {
      case EFAULT: case E2BIG:
          /* Old kernel... */
          check_support_the_old_way();
          break;
      case EEXTSYS_NOOP:
          mountattr_nosymfollow_supported =
              ((attr.attr_clr | attr.attr_set) & MOUNT_ATTR_NOSYMFOLLOW);
          mountattr_idmap_supported =
              ((attr.attr_clr | attr.attr_set) & MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP) &&
              (attr.userns_fd != 0);
          break;
      }
  }
