kernfs: reword the description of bind mount
"Duplicated copy" is wrong IMO. If you copy A to B, B won't be changed when you modify A. But if you bind mount A to B, B will reflect any change made to A. Again copy something from mount(2): A bind mount makes a file or a directory subtree visible at another point within the single directory hierarchy.
