[PATCH 0/6] statfs: handle mount propagation

From: Christian Brauner

Hey,

This little series
- unifies the definition of constants in statfs.h and fs.h
- extends statfs to handle mount propagation. This will let userspace
easily query a given mountpoint for MS_UNBINDABLE, MS_SHARED,
MS_PRIVATE and MS_SLAVE without always having to do costly parsing of
/proc/<pid>/mountinfo.
To this end the flags:
- ST_UNBINDABLE
- ST_SHARED
- ST_PRIVATE
- ST_SLAVE
are added. They have the same value as their MS_* counterparts.

The patchset was made against Al's vfs/for-next tree but they also apply
cleanly against current linus/master. So if they are deemed suitable for
inclusion in the current release that should work too.

Thanks!
Christian
