From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

We check submounts before doing d_drop() on a non-empty directory dentry in
NFS (have_submounts()).  But we do not exclude a racing mount.  Nor do we
prevent mounts to be added to the disconnected subtree using relative paths
after the d_drop().

This patch fixes these issues by checking for unlinked (unhashed, non-root)
ancestors before proceeding with the mount.  This is done after setting
DCACHE_MOUNTED on the soon-to-be mountpoint and with the rename seqlock
taken for write.  This ensures that the only one of have_submounts() or
has_unlinked_ancestor() can succeed.

Actually we need to take ->d_lock around this d_unhashed() since the __d_drop()
is done outside the read read_seqbegin/read_seqretry() region but with d_lock
held.

Thanks,
Miklos
