commit d728cf79164bb38e9628d15276e636539f857ef1 upstream.

When propagating mounts across mount namespaces owned by different user
namespaces it is not possible anymore to move or umount the mount in the
less privileged mount namespace.

Here is a reproducer:

sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt
sudo --make-rshared /mnt

# create unprivileged user + mount namespace and preserve propagation
unshare -U -m --map-root --propagation=unchanged

# now change back to the original mount namespace in another terminal:
sudo mkdir /mnt/aaa
sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt/aaa

# now in the unprivileged user + mount namespace
mount --move /mnt/aaa /opt

Unfortunately, this is a pretty big deal for userspace since this is
e.g. used to inject mounts into running unprivileged containers.
So this regression really needs to go away rather quickly.

The problem is that a recent change falsely locked the root of the newly
added mounts by setting MNT_LOCKED. Fix this by only locking the mounts
on copy_mnt_ns() and not when adding a new mount.

Fixes: 3bd045cc9c4b ("separate copying and locking mount tree on cross-userns copies")
