namespace: restrict OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE/FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE to directories
open_tree(..., OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE) and
fsmount(..., FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE, ...) currently work on non-directories,
like regular files. That's bad for two reasons:
- It ends up mounting a regular file over the inherited namespace root,
which is a directory; mounting a non-directory over a directory is
normally explicitly forbidden, see for example do_move_mount()
- It causes setns() on the new namespace to set the cwd to a regular
file, which the rest of VFS does not expect
Fix it by restricting create_new_namespace() (which is used by both of
these flags) to directories.
Leave the behavior for OPEN_TREE_CLONE as-is, that seems unproblematic.
