[patch] statfs does not detect -t nullfs -o union as a union mount

While testing recent changes to opendir(), I noticed that fstatfs() does
not return the MNT_UNION flag for a -t nullfs -o union mount. As a
result, opendir()/readdir() return files that exist in both top and
bottom directories twice (at least . and ..). Other -o union mounts and
-t unionfs mounts work correctly in this regard.

The below patch passes through just the MNT_UNION flag of the nullfs
mount itself. Perhaps more flags should be passed through.

    nullfs: Preserve the MNT_UNION flag of the nullfs mount itself.
    
    This is needed so that opendir() can properly detect a union mount like
    mount -t nullfs -o union dir1 dir2.
