UPSTREAM: proc: prevent stacking filesystems on top
(cherry picked from commit e54ad7f1) This prevents stacking filesystems (ecryptfs and overlayfs) from using procfs as lower filesystem. There is too much magic going on inside procfs, and there is no good reason to stack stuff on top of procfs. (For example, procfs does access checks in VFS open handlers, and ecryptfs by design calls open handlers from a kernel thread that doesn't drop privileges or so.)
