selftests/filesystems: test that a mntns file can't take over a lock

Add a case to the locked mount test:

- a bind of the mount namespace file of a grandchild moved beneath a
  locked cover must fail with EINVAL
- a bind of an ordinary file beneath it takes the lock over, the old
  cover can go and the new one can't
- the file is still covered after unshare(CLONE_NEWNS)
