  3017	 * can_move_mount_beneath - check that we can mount beneath the top mount
  3018	 * @from: mount to mount beneath
  3019	 * @to:   mount under which to mount
  3020	 *
  3021	 * - Make sure that @to->dentry is actually the root of a mount under
  3022	 *   which we can mount another mount.
  3023	 * - Make sure that nothing can be mounted beneath the caller's current
  3024	 *   root or the rootfs of the namespace.
  3025	 * - Make sure that the caller can unmount the topmost mount ensuring
  3026	 *   that the caller could reveal the underlying mountpoint.
  3027	 * - Ensure that nothing has been mounted on top of @from before we
  3028	 *   grabbed @namespace_sem to avoid creating pointless shadow mounts.
  3029	 * - Prevent mounting beneath a mount if the propagation relationship
  3030	 *   between the source mount, parent mount, and top mount would lead to
  3031	 *   nonsensical mount trees.
  3032	 *
  3033	 * Context: This function expects namespace_lock() to be held.
  3034	 * Return: On success 0, and on error a negative error code is returned.
