change the locking order for namespace_sem
Have it nested inside ->i_mutex. Instead of using follow_down() under namespace_sem, followed by grabbing i_mutex and checking that mountpoint to be is not dead, do the following: grab i_mutex check that it's not dead grab namespace_sem see if anything is mounted there if not, we've won otherwise drop locks put_path on what we had replace with what's mounted retry everything with new mountpoint to be New helper (lock_mount()) does that. do_add_mount(), do_move_mount(), do_loopback() and pivot_root() switched to it; in case of the last two that eliminates a race we used to have - original code didn't do follow_down().
