A slave mount always has a master mount from which it receives
mount/umount events. Unlike shared mount the event propagation does not
flow from the slave mount to the master.

An unmount of a mount creates a umount event on the parent. If the
parent is a shared mount, it gets propagated to all mounts in the peer
group.

This creates shared mounts. A shared mount when bind-mounted to some
mountpoint, propagates mount/umount events to each other. All the
shared mounts that propagate events to each other belong to the same
peer-group.
