Currently userspace can only determine whether a mountpoint is unbindable
by parsing /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. It would be convenient to simply retrieve
this property with a statvfs() call.
This let's userspace avoid costly parsing, supports cases where /proc is
not mounted, and supports usecases where file descriptors to mountpoints
are passed between processes that are inspected via fstatvfs().
