I'm marking this confirmed to acknowledge thinking about it, but not
triaged as I'm not yet sure we want to do it (a bit of an abuse :)

Ideally we'd instead use mounts propagation for this, but that is
prohibited by restrictions on pivot_root.

Adding this symlink shouldn't be unsafe since the kernel uses ptrace
rights to figure out if you can follow it.

Maybe it's not so bad...
