Fix the return type of do_mount() function from long to int to match its ac
tual behavior. The function only returns int values, and all callers, inclu
ding those in fs/namespace.c and arch/alpha/kernel/osf_sys.c, already treat
 the return value as int. This change improves type consistency across the
filesystem code and aligns the function signature with its existing impleme
ntation and usage.

Applied to the vfs-6.14.misc branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
