[PATCH] namespace.c: fix expiring of detached mount
This patch fixes a bug noticed by Al Viro:
However, we still have a problem here - just what would
happen if vfsmount is detached while we were grabbing namespace
semaphore? Refcount alone is not useful here - we might be held by
whoever had detached the vfsmount. IOW, we should check that it's
still attached (i.e. that mnt->mnt_parent != mnt). If it's not -
just leave it alone, do mntput() and let whoever holds it deal with
the sucker. No need to put it back on lists.
