clone_mnt(): simplify the propagation-related logics
The underlying rules are simple: * MNT_SHARED should be set iff ->mnt_group_id of new mount ends up non-zero. * mounts should be on the same ->mnt_share cyclic list iff they have the same non-zero ->mnt_group_id value. * CL_PRIVATE is mutually exclusive with MNT_SHARED, MNT_SLAVE, MNT_SHARED_TO_SLAVE and MNT_EXPIRE; the whole point of that thing is to get a clone of old mount that would *not* be on any namespace-related lists. The above allows to make the logics more straightforward; what's more, it makes the proof that invariants are maintained much simpler. The variant in mainline is safe (aside of a very narrow race with unsafe modification of mnt_flags right after we had the mount exposed in superblock's ->s_mounts; theoretically it can race with ro remount of the original, but it's not easy to hit), but proof of its correctness is really unpleasant.
