[RFC PATCH v1 0/6] proc: Add allowlist for procfs files

The patch expands subset= option. If the proc is mounted with the
subset=allowlist option, the /proc/allowlist file will appear. This file
contains the filenames and directories that are allowed for this
mountpoint. By default, /proc/allowlist contains only its own name.
Changing the allowlist is possible as long as it is present in the
allowlist itself.

This allowlist is applied in lookup/readdir so files that will create
modules after mounting will not be visible.

Compared to the previous patches [1][2], I switched to a special virtual
file from listing filenames in the mount options.
