This is a preparation patch that adds a proc_fs_info to be able to store
different procfs options. Right now some mount options are stored inside
the pid namespace which make multiple proc share the same mount options.
This patch will help also to fix this.

Why is this check needed?

What is version?

Should this patch have just users and pid_ns and move the other stuff
to patch 2?
