add statmount(2) syscall
Add a way to query attributes of a single mount instead of having to parse
the complete /proc/$PID/mountinfo, which might be huge.
Lookup the mount the new 64bit mount ID. If a mount needs to be queried
based on path, then statx(2) can be used to first query the mount ID
belonging to the path.
Design is based on a suggestion by Linus:
"So I'd suggest something that is very much like "statfsat()", which gets
a buffer and a length, and returns an extended "struct statfs" *AND*
just a string description at the end."
The interface closely mimics that of statx.
Handle ASCII attributes by appending after the end of the structure (as per
above suggestion). Pointers to strings are stored in u64 members to make
the structure the same regardless of pointer size. Strings are nul
terminated.
