Subject[PATCH 1/2] fs: Allow bind mounts with locked children on permaenetly empty directories
Date
Forbidding a bind mount due to a locked child on a permanently
empty directory provides no security benefit since the
directory cannot contain any contents which have been overmounted
for security reasons.
