[Devel] [PATCH RH7 04/22] ms/mnt: Only change user settable mount flags in remount

commit a6138db815df ("mnt: Only change user settable mount flags in remount")

Kenton Varda <kenton at sandstorm.io> discovered that by remounting a
read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the
MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user

to the remount a read-only mount read-write.

Correct this by replacing the mask of mount flags to preserve
with a mask of mount flags that may be changed, and preserve
all others.   This ensures that any future bugs with this mask and
remount will fail in an easy to detect way where new mount flags
simply won't change.
