fs: move SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE to FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTED

Whether a filesystem's mounts need to undergo a visibility check in user
namespaces is a static property of the filesystem type, not a runtime
property of each superblock instance. Both proc and sysfs always set
SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE on their superblocks unconditionally (sysfs does so
on first creation, and subsequent mounts reuse the same superblock).

Move this flag from sb->s_iflags (SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE) to
file_system_type->fs_flags (FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTED) so the intent
is expressed at the filesystem type level where it belongs.

All check sites are updated to test sb->s_type->fs_flags instead of
sb->s_iflags. The SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV flags remain on the
superblock as they are runtime properties set during fill_super.
