Add a new FS_HANDLES_LSM_OPTS filesystem flag to singal to VFS that the
filesystem does LSM option setting for the given mount on its own, so
the security_sb_set_mnt_opts() call in vfs_get_tree() can be skipped.

This allows the following simplifications:
1. Removal of explicit LSM option handling from BTRFS.

   This exists only because of the double-layer mount that BTRFS is
   doing for its subvolume support. Setting FS_HANDLES_LSM_OPTS on the
   inner layer (btrfs_root_fs_type) and unsetting FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA
   from both layers allows us to leave the LSM option handling entirely
   on VFS as part of the outer vfs_get_tree() call.

2. Removal of FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA flags from BTRFS's fs_types.

   After applying (1.), we can let VFS eat away LSM opts at the outer
   mount layer and then do selinux_set_mnt_opts() with these opts, so
   setting the flag is no longer needed neither for preserving the LSM
   opts, nor for the SELinux double-set_mnt_opts exception.

3. Removal of the ugly FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA special case from
   selinux_set_mnt_opts().

   Applying (1.) and also setting FS_HANDLES_LSM_OPTS on NFS fs_types
   (which needs to unavoidably do the LSM options handling on its own
   due to the SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS flag usage) gets us to the
   state where there is an exactly one security_sb_set_mnt_opts() or
   security_sb_clone_mnt_opts() call for each superblock, so the rather
   hacky FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA special case can be finally removed from
   security_sb_set_mnt_opts().

The only other filesystem that sets FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA is coda, which
is also the only one that has binary mount data && doesn't do its own
LSM options handling. So for coda we leave FS_HANDLES_LSM_OPTS unset and
the behavior remains unchanged - with fsconfig(2) it (probably) won't
even mount and with mount(2) it still won't support LSM options (and the
security_sb_set_mnt_opts() will be always performed with empty LSM
options as before).

AFAICT, this shouldn't negatively affect the other LSMs. In fact, I
think AppArmor will now gain the ability to do its DFA matching on BTRFS
mount options, which was prevented before due to FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA
being set on both its fs_types.
Tested-by: Olga Kornievskaia <redacted> (both patches).
Is this stalled on getting an Ack from vfs maintainers?
