Commit 88fce09026 modified the
mount_bind() function, causing it to perform arithmetic on the uid_shift
parameter. However, it performs this arithmetic even when uid_shift was
UID_INVALID, which was not intended. This typically occurred when
mount_custom() was called for a simple bind mount without user
namespaces (and thus no rootidmap mount option).
This arithmetic (e.g., uid_shift + m->destination_uid) then wraps
around, resulting in the invalid ID 4294967295 ((uid_t)-1).
This bug manifests for users running systemd-nspawn with
--link-journal=host and --volatile=yes (but without --private-users),
causing systemd-tmpfiles to fail.
Make mount_bind() robust by checking if uid_shift is valid before using
it in arithmetic. If it is UID_INVALID, it defaults to a shift of 0 for
the ownership calculation, restoring correct behavior for plain bind
mounts while preserving the intended logic for ID-mapped mounts.
