    fs: Add helper functions for permanently empty directories. · fbabfd0f
    Eric W. Biederman 提交于
    To ensure it is safe to mount proc and sysfs I need to check if
    filesystems that are mounted on top of them are mounted on truly empty
    directories.  Given that some directories can gain entries over time,
    knowing that a directory is empty right now is insufficient.
    
    Therefore add supporting infrastructure for permantently empty
    directories that proc and sysfs can use when they create mount points
    for filesystems and fs_fully_visible can use to test for permanently
    empty directories to ensure that nothing will be gained by mounting a
    fresh copy of proc or sysfs.
