Subject: [PATCH 1/6] open_without_symlink: Account when prefix is empty string

In the current implementation, the open_without_symlink function
will default to opening the root mount only if the passed rootfs
prefix is null. It doesn't account for the case where this prefix
is passed as an empty string.

Properly handle this second case as well.

Subject: [PATCH 2/6] mount_proc_if_needed: only safe mount when rootfs is
 defined

The safe_mount function was introduced in order to address CVE-2015-1335,
one of the vulnerabilities being a mount with a symlink for the
destination path. In scenarios such as lxc-execute with no rootfs, the
destination path is the host /proc, which is previously mounted by the
host, and is unmounted and mounted again in a new set of namespaces,
therefore eliminating the need to check for it being a symlink.

Mount the rootfs normally if the rootfs is NULL, keep the safe mount
only for scenarios where a different rootfs is defined.

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Fix NULL-ptr derefs for container without rootfs

Since we allow containers to be created without a rootfs most checks in conf.c
are not sane anymore. Instead of just checking if rootfs->path != NULL we need
to check whether rootfs != NULL.

Minor fixes:
- Have mount_autodev() always return -1 on failure: mount_autodev() returns 0
  on success and -1 on failure. But when the return value of safe_mount() was
  checked in mount_autodev() we returned false (instead of -1) which caused
  mount_autodev() to return 0 (success) instead of the correct -1 (failure).

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] Fix mount_entry_on_generic()

In mount_entry_on_generic() we dereferenced a NULL pointer whenever a container
without a rootfs was created. (Since mount_entry_on_systemfs() passes them with
NULL.) We have mount_entry_on_generic() check whether rootfs != NULL.

We also check whether rootfs != NULL in the functions ovl_mkdir() and
mount_entry_create_aufs_dirs() and bail immediately. Rationale: For overlay and
aufs lxc.mount.entry entries users give us absolute paths to e.g. workdir and
upperdir which we create for them. We currently use rootfs->path and the
lxcpath for the container to check that users give us a sane path to create
those directories under and refuse if they do not. If we want to allow overlay
mounts for containers without a rootfs they can easily be reworked.

mounts with synlinks as source or destination. Keep SYSERROR'ing in that
particular scenario, but leave error handling to calling functions for the
other ones - e.g. optional bind mount when the source dir doesn't exist
