thanks for the patch. It seems to work after this minor fixup on top of
it:

The only issue I've seen with my version is that if I do:
# unshare -im /bin/sh
# mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue
# touch /dev/mqueue/foo
# umount /dev/mqueue
# mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue
then /dev/mqueue/foo doesn't exist at this point. Your patch does not
have this problem and /dev/mqueue/foo is again accessible after the
second mount.

Giuseppe
