Pull mount API updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This introduces FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL which allows userspace to
  implement something like

      $ mount -t ext4 --exclusive /dev/sda /B

  which fails if a superblock for the requested filesystem does already
  exist instead of silently reusing an existing superblock.

  Without it, in the sequence

      $ move-mount -f xfs -o       source=/dev/sda4 /A
      $ move-mount -f xfs -o noacl,source=/dev/sda4 /B

  the initial mounter will create a superblock. The second mounter will
  reuse the existing superblock, creating a bind-mount (see [1] for the
  source of the move-mount binary).

  The problem is that reusing an existing superblock means all mount
  options other than read-only and read-write will be silently ignored
  even if they are incompatible requests. For example, the second mount
  has requested no POSIX ACL support but since the existing superblock
  is reused POSIX ACL support will remain enabled.

  Such silent superblock reuse can easily become a security issue.

  After adding support for FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL to mount(8) in
  util-linux this can be fixed:

      $ move-mount -f xfs --exclusive -o       source=/dev/sda4 /A
      $ move-mount -f xfs --exclusive -o noacl,source=/dev/sda4 /B
      Device or resource busy | move-mount.c: 300: do_fsconfig: i xfs: reusing existing filesystem not allowed

  This requires the new mount api. With the old mount api it would be
  necessary to plumb this through every legacy filesystem's
  file_system_type->mount() method. If they want this feature they are
  most welcome to switch to the new mount api"
