[CRIU] [PATCH 5/6] mount: clone a mount namespace to open a detached mount

[Andrei Vagin]

From: Andrei Vagin <avagin at virtuozzo.com>

If we can't create a temporary directory for a detached mount,
we can clone a whole mount namespace, open a mount and release
the created namespace. The result will be the same.
