Some systems are now following the advice in
linux/Documentation/sharedsubtrees.txt and running with all mount
points shared between all mount namespaces by default.

After creating the mount namespace call mount on / with
MS_SLAVE|MS_REC to modify all mounts in the new mount namespace to
slave mounts if they are shared or private mounts otherwise.
Guarnateeing that changes to the mount namespace created with
"ip netns exec" don't propgate to other namespaces.
