mount_namespaces.7: Clarify description of "less privileged" mount namespaces
The current text talks about "parent mount namespaces", but there is no such concept. As confirmed by Eric Biederman, what is mean here is "the mount namespace this mount namespace started as a copy of". So, this change writes up Eric's description in a more detailed way.

.SS Restrictions on mount namespaces
|
||||
Note the following points with respect to mount namespaces:
|
||||
.IP * 3
|
||||
A mount namespace has an owner user namespace.
|
||||
A mount namespace whose owner user namespace is different from
|
||||
the owner user namespace of its parent mount namespace is
|
||||
considered a less privileged mount namespace.
|
||||
Each mount namespace has an owner user namespace.
|
||||
As noted above, when a new mount namespace is created,
|
||||
it inherits a copy of the mount points from the mount namespace
|
||||
of the process that created the new mount namespace.
|
||||
If the two mount namespaces are owned by different user namespaces,
|
||||
then the new mount namespace is considered
|
||||
.IR "less privileged" .
|
||||
.IP *
|
||||
When creating a less privileged mount namespace,
|
||||
shared mounts are reduced to slave mounts.
