Subject: [PATCH] Fix symlink mounting issues by evaluating symlinks directly
 on the LHS of a bind-mount -v and by FollowSymlinkInScope on the RHS just
 before mounting

Tested successfully with variations around mounting /var/run and /var/run/docker.sock inside a "debian" container directly at /var/run/docker.sock where /var/run is a symlink to "/run" on both the host and in the container.

Fixes #3262
