After kernel commit 5ff9d8a65ce80efb509ce4e8051394e9ed2cd942
vfs: Lock in place mounts from more privileged users,

unprivileged user has no rights to move the mounts that
inherited from parent mountns. we use this feature to move
the /stateDir/domain-name.{dev, devpts} to the /dev/ and
/dev/pts directroy of container. this commit breaks libvirt lxc.

this patch changes the behavior to bind these mounts when
user namespace is enabled and move these mounts when user
namespace is disabled.
