Fwiw, allows dynamic creation and removal of Android binder ipc
devices. Each mount is a separate instance and it's mountable inside
unprivileged containers. Since Android 12 default how binder devices are
managed. Also makes it possibe to run Android in unprivileged
containers.

I don't think there is any issue in allowing binderfs to support this.
Binderfs files are always device nodes. Allowing them to be atomically
renamed shouldn't be a problem. So:
