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].
