Regarding TOMOYO, I don't want overlayfs to call security_path_*() hooks on the
underlying fs, but the reason is different. It is not because a simple bind mount
done inside a private mount namespace defeats the path based security checks.
TOMOYO does want to check what device/filesystem is mounted on which location. But
currently TOMOYO is failing to check it due to fsopen()/fsmount()/move_mount() API.
