I know this problem is not easy to be resolved. why not let the user
make the decision?  maybe we can introduce a new mount option MS_LOCK,
if user wants to use mount to hide something, he should use mount with
option MS_LOCK. so the unpriviged user can't umount this filesystem and
fail to mount the filesystem if one of it's child mount is mounted with
MS_LOCK option otherwise he use MS_REC too.

Thanks
