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.
