vfs: syscall: Add open_tree(2) to reference or clone a mount

open_tree(dfd, pathname, flags)

Returns an O_PATH-opened file descriptor or an error.
dfd and pathname specify the location to open, in usual
fashion (see e.g. fstatat(2)).  flags should be an OR of
some of the following:
	* AT_PATH_EMPTY, AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW -
same meanings as usual
	* OPEN_TREE_CLOEXEC - make the resulting descriptor
close-on-exec
	* OPEN_TREE_CLONE or OPEN_TREE_CLONE | AT_RECURSIVE -
instead of opening the location in question, create a detached
mount tree matching the subtree rooted at location specified by
dfd/pathname.  With AT_RECURSIVE the entire subtree is cloned,
without it - only the part within in the mount containing the
location in question.  In other words, the same as mount --rbind
or mount --bind would've taken.  The detached tree will be
dissolved on the final close of obtained file.  Creation of such
detached trees requires the same capabilities as doing mount --bind.
