userns: Remove implicit MNT_NODEV fragility.
Replace the implict setting of MNT_NODEV on mounts that happen with just user namespace permissions with an implicit setting of SB_I_NODEV in s_iflags. The visibility of the implicit MNT_NODEV has caused problems in the past. With this change the fragile case where an implicit MNT_NODEV needs to be preserved in do_remount is removed. Using SB_I_NODEV is much less fragile as s_iflags are set during the original mount and never changed. In do_new_mount with the implicit setting of MNT_NODEV gone, the only code that can affect mnt_flags is fs_fully_visible so simplify the if statement and reduce the indentation of the code to make that clear.
