[patch 04/10] unprivileged mounts: account user mounts

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi at suse.cz>

Add sysctl variables for accounting and limiting the number of user
mounts.

The maximum number of user mounts is set to 1024 by default.  This
won't in itself enable user mounts, setting a mount to be owned by a
user is first needed.

[akpm]
 - don't use enumerated sysctls

+nr_user_mounts and max_user_mounts
+----------------------------------
+
+These represent the number of "user" mounts and the maximum number of
+"user" mounts respectively.  User mounts may be created by
+unprivileged users.  User mounts may also be created with sysadmin
+privileges on behalf of a user, in which case nr_user_mounts may
+exceed max_user_mounts.
