[RESEND] xenbus: Use proc_create_mount_point() to create /proc/xen

Commit Message

Seth Forshee Aug. 30, 2016, 3:17 p.m. UTC

Mounting proc in user namespace containers fails if the xenbus
filesystem is mounted on /proc/xen because this directory fails
the "permanently empty" test. proc_create_mount_point() exists
specifically to create such mountpoints in proc but is currently
proc-internal. Export this interface to modules, then use it in
xenbus when creating /proc/xen.

Resending to add some Cc's I missed the first time.
