[PATCH v2 01/10] man/man2/statmount.2: Document req.mnt_ns_id and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID

Document the new mnt_ns_id parameter to struct mnt_id_req and the
STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID flag.

req.mnt_ns_id can be used to query for a mount in a foreign mount
namespace.

STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID can be used to retreive the mnt_ns_id of the mount
being queried.

The mnt_ns_id parameter description is based on this commit message [1]
and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID text is based on [2].
