NB I cc'd lsm list on this patch just as a heads-up/reminder that this
hook hasn't been implemented for any security modules AFAICT, not just
SELinux. I see that there was some discussion of this in the past with
a trivial patch proposed by Tetsuo to just disable the syscall when
TOMOYO or AppArmor is enabled, but no action seems to have been taken,
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/5802b8b1-f734-1670-f83b-465eda133936@i-love.sakura.ne.jp/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/1565365478-6550-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/
The move_mount syscall does check may_mount() and hence requires
CAP_SYS_ADMIN for the user namespace associated with the mount
namespace, so both SELinux and AppArmor would at least restrict the use
of this syscall to processes allowed CAP_SYS_ADMIN by policy, but TOMOYO
doesn't implement the capable hook either so move_mount is entirely
unrestricted by it at present. Looks like Smack doesn't implement any
mount checking so it doesn't care about move_mount (especially since it
requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN already).
