[PATCH v5 0/5] proc: Relax check of mount visibility

If only the dynamic part of procfs is mounted (subset=pid), then there is no
need to check if procfs is fully visible to the user in the new user namespace.

Changelog
---------
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.
