Yes, preserving MNT_NOEXEC will make -t nullfs -o noexec work better, in
particular rtld's check for libraries loaded via environment variables.
In the same way MNT_RDONLY, MNT_NOSUID and MNT_NOSYMFOLLOW could be
preserved.
On the other hand, MNT_ROOTFS should probably not be passed through from
the underlying filesystem.
This would give
sbp->f_flags = (sbp->f_flags & (MNT_RDONLY | MNT_NOEXEC | MNT_NOSUID |
MNT_UNION | MNT_NOSYMFOLLOW) | (mstat.f_flags & ~MNT_ROOTFS);
