There remains no more code in the kernel using pids_ns->proc_mnt,
therefore remove it from the kernel.

The big benefit of this change is that one of the most error prone and
tricky parts of the pid namespace implementation, maintaining kernel
mounts of proc is removed.

In addition removing the unnecessary complexity of the kernel mount
fixes a regression that caused the proc mount options to be ignored.
Now that the initial mount of proc comes from userspace, those mount
options are again honored.  This fixes Android's usage of the proc
hidepid option.

What about proc_flush_task()? Or is this on top of your other series?

There's a comment in kernel/pid_namespace.c that references
proc_cleanup_work(). Can you please remove that as well?

On top of the other series.  Which is why it is a reply to it.
That I have pushed into linux-next earlier today.

No one seems worried enough about that patchset to comment on v2 so I am
just going with it.

Good catch.  It isn't immediately obvious to me how that sentence
needs to be updated but it should be done.
