[patch 4/8] propagate error values from clone_mnt

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Allow clone_mnt() to return errors other than ENOMEM.  This will be
used for returning a different error value when the number of user
mounts goes over the limit.

Fix copy_tree() to return EPERM for unbindable mounts.

Don't propagate further from dup_mnt_ns() as that copy_tree() can only
fail with -ENOMEM.
