From: Alexey Gladkov
Date: Fri Jul 16 2021 - 06:46:48 EST


Allow to mount procfs with subset=pid option even if the entire procfs
is not fully accessible to the mounter.

Changelog
---------
v6:
* Add documentation about procfs mount restrictions.
* Reorder commits for better review.

v4:
* Set SB_I_DYNAMIC only if pidonly is set.
* Add an error message if subset=pid is canceled during remount.

v3:
* Add 'const' to struct cred *mounter_cred (fix kernel test robot warning).

v2:
* cache the mounters credentials and make access to the net directories
contingent of the permissions of the mounter of procfs.
