/*
 * Test: rootfs overmounted multiple times with chroot into topmost
 *
 * This test creates a scenario where:
 * 1. A new mount namespace is created with a tmpfs root (via pivot_root)
 * 2. A mountpoint is created and overmounted multiple times
 * 3. The caller chroots into the topmost mount layer
 *
 * The test verifies that:
 * - Multiple overmounts create separate mount layers
 * - Each layer's files are isolated
 * - chroot correctly sets the process's root to the topmost layer
 * - After chroot, only the topmost layer's files are visible
