sysctl: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mountpoints.
commit f9bd6733d3f11e24f3949becf277507d422ee1eb upstream.
Add a magic sysctl table sysctl_mount_point that when used to
create a directory forces that directory to be permanently empty.
Update the code to use make_empty_dir_inode when accessing permanently
empty directories.
Update the code to not allow adding to permanently empty directories.
Update /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc to be a permanently empty directory.
