3.19.8-ckt1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm at xmission.com>

commit 7e96c1b0e0f495c5a7450dc4aa7c9a24ba4305bd upstream.

This fixes a dumb bug in fs_fully_visible that allows proc or sys to
be mounted if there is a bind mount of part of /proc/ or /sys/ visible.
