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.
