fs: allow clone_private_mount() for a path on real rootfs



Mounting overlayfs with a directory on real rootfs (initramfs)
as upperdir has failed with following message since commit
db04662e ("fs: allow detached mounts in clone_private_mount()").

  [    4.080134] overlayfs: failed to clone upperpath

Overlayfs mount uses clone_private_mount() to create internal mount
for the underlying layers.

The commit made clone_private_mount() reject real rootfs because
it does not have a parent mount and is in the initial mount namespace,
that is not an anonymous mount namespace.

This issue can be fixed by modifying the permission check
of clone_private_mount() following [1].
