fs: allow clone_private_mount() for a path on real rootfs
Mounting overlayfs with a directory on real rootfs (initramfs)
as upperdir has failed with following message since commit
db04662e2f4f ("fs: allow detached mounts in clone_private_mount()").
[ 4.080134] overlayfs: failed to clone upperpath
Overlayfs mount uses clone_private_mount() to create internal mount
for the underlying layers.
The commit made clone_private_mount() reject real rootfs because
it does not have a parent mount and is in the initial mount namespace,
that is not an anonymous mount namespace.
This issue can be fixed by modifying the permission check
of clone_private_mount() following [1].
