When a container starts up, lxc sets up the container's inital fstree
by doing a bunch of mounting, guided by the container configuration
file.  The container config is owned by the admin or user on the host,
so we do not try to guard against bad entries.  However, since the
mount target is in the container, it's possible that the container admin
could divert the mount with symbolic links.  This could bypass proper
container startup (i.e. confinement of a root-owned container by the
restrictive apparmor policy, by diverting the required write to
/proc/self/attr/current), or bypass the (path-based) apparmor policy
by diverting, say, /proc to /mnt in the container.

To prevent this,

1. do not allow mounts to paths containing symbolic links

2. do not allow bind mounts from relative paths containing symbolic
links.

Details:

Define safe_mount which ensures that the container has not inserted any
symbolic links into any mount targets for mounts to be done during
container setup.

The host's mount path may contain symbolic links.  As it is under the
control of the administrator, that's ok.  So safe_mount begins the check
for symbolic links after the rootfs->mount, by opening that directory.

It opens each directory along the path using openat() relative to the
parent directory using O_NOFOLLOW.  When the target is reached, it
mounts onto /proc/self/fd/<targetfd>.

Use safe_mount() in mount_entry(), when mounting container proc,
and when needed.  In particular, safe_mount() need not be used in
any case where:

1. the mount is done in the container's namespace
2. the mount is for the container's rootfs
3. the mount is relative to a tmpfs or proc/sysfs which we have
   just safe_mount()ed ourselves

Since we were using proc/net as a temporary placeholder for /proc/sys/net
during container startup, and proc/net is a symbolic link, use proc/tty
instead.

Update the lxc.container.conf manpage with details about the new
restrictions.

Finally, add a testcase to test some symbolic link possibilities.

Newer kernels have added a new restriction:  if /proc or /sys on the
host has files or non-empty directories which are over-mounted, and
there is no /proc which fully visible, then it assumes there is a
"security" reason for this.  It prevents anyone in a non-initial user
namespace from creating a new proc or sysfs mount.

To work around this, this patch adds a new 'nesting.conf' which can be
lxc.include'd from a container configuration file.  It adds a
non-overmounted mount of /proc and /sys under /dev/.lxc, so that the
kernel can see that we're not trying to *hide* things like /proc/uptime.
and /sys/devices/virtual/net.  If the host adds this to the config file
for container w1, then container w1 will support unprivileged child
containers.

The nesting.conf file also sets the apparmor profile to the with-nesting
variant, since that is required anyway.  This actually means that
supporting nesting isn't really more work than it used to be, just
different.  Instead of adding

lxc.aa_profile = lxc-container-default-with-nesting

you now just need to

lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/nesting.conf

(Look, fewer characters :)

Finally, in order to maintain the current apparmor protections on
proc and sys, we make /dev/.lxc/{proc,sys} non-read/writeable.
We don't need to be able to use them, we're just showing the
kernel what's what.

On very busy systems, some virtual network devices won't be destroyed after a
container halts.  This patch uses the lxc_delete_network() method to ensure
that network devices attached to the container are destroyed when the
container halts.

Without the patch, some virtual network devices are left over on the system
and must be removed with `ip link del <device>`.  This caused containers
with lxc.network.veth.pair to not be able to start.  For containers using
randomly generated virtual network device names, the old devices will hang
around on the bridge with their original MAC address.

Doing this requires some btrfs functions from bdev to be used in
utils.c  Because utils.h is imported by lxc_init.c, I had to create
a new initutils.[ch] which are used by both lxc_init.c and utils.c
We could instead put the btrfs functions into utils.c, which would
be a shorter patch, but it really doesn't belong there.  So I went
the other way figuring there may be more such cases coming up of
fns in utils.c needing code from bdev.c which can't go into lxc_init.

Currently, if we detect a btrfs subvolume we just remove it.  The
st_dev on that dir is different, so we cannot detect if this is
bound in from another fs easily.  If we care, we should check
whether this is a mountpoint, this patch doesn't do that.
