Subject: mnt: Add MNT_UMOUNT flag

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]>

commit 590ce4bcbfb4e0462a720a4ad901e84416080bba upstream.

In some instances it is necessary to know if the the unmounting process has begun on a mount. Add MNT_UMOUNT to make that reliably testable.

This fix gets used in fixing locked mounts in MNT_DETACH
