man/man2/mount_setattr.2, man/man2type/mount_attr.2type: Move mount_attr struct to...

As with open_how(2type), it makes sense to move this to a separate man
page.  In addition, future man pages added in this patchset will want to
reference mount_attr(2type).

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Specifies which mount properties should be changed with
+.BR mount_setattr (2).
+.P
+The fields are as follows:
+.TP
+.I .attr_set
+This field specifies which
+.BI MOUNT_ATTR_ *
+attribute flags to set.
+.TP
+.I .attr_clr
+This field specifies which
+.BI MOUNT_ATTR_ *
+attribute flags to clear.
+.TP
+.I .propagation
+This field specifies what mount propagation will be applied.
+The valid values of this field are the same propagation types described in
+.BR mount_namespaces (7).
+.TP
+.I .userns_fd
+This field specifies a file descriptor that indicates which user namespace to
+use as a reference for ID-mapped mounts with
+.BR MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP .
+.SH STANDARDS
+Linux.
+.SH HISTORY
+Linux 5.12.
+.\" commit 2a1867219c7b27f928e2545782b86daaf9ad50bd
+glibc 2.36.
+.P
+Extra fields may be appended to the structure,
+with a zero value in a new field resulting in
+the kernel behaving as though that extension field was not present.
+Therefore, a user
+.I must
+zero-fill this structure on initialization.
