sysctl: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mountpoints.
Add a magic sysctl table sysctl_mount_point that when used to create a directory forces that directory to be permanently empty. Update the code to use make_empty_dir_inode when accessing permanently empty directories. Update the code to not allow adding to permanently empty directories. Update /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc to be a permanently empty directory. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
