[PATCH] unbindable mounts

An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation.  Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts.  The semantics is as follows.

Bind semantics:
  It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.

Move semantics:
  It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.

Clone-namespace semantics:
  If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
  cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too.  Note:
  there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
  but can be cloned during clone-namespace.
