Add way to query the children of a particular mount.  This is a more
flexible way to iterate the mount tree than having to parse the complete
/proc/self/mountinfo.

Lookup the mount by the old (32bit) or new (64bit) mount ID.  If a mount
needs to be queried based on path, then statx(2) can be used to first query
the mount ID belonging to the path.

Return an array of new (64bit) mount ID's.  Without privileges only mounts
are listed which are reachable from the task's root.

I think it'd be good for userspace to be able to query required
bufsize with NULL buf, listattr style, rather than having to
guess and re-guess on EOVERFLOW.

Agreed, I also think that would be useful.
