Subject: mnt: Delay removal from the mount hash.

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

commit 411a938b5abc9cb126c41cccf5975ae464fe0f3e upstream.

- Modify __lookup_mnt_hash_last to ignore mounts that have MNT_UMOUNTED set.
- Don't remove mounts from the mount hash table in propogate_umount
- Don't remove mounts from the mount hash table in umount_tree before the entire list of mounts to be umounted is selected.
- Remove mounts from the mount hash table as the last thing that happens in the case where a mount has a parent in umount_tree. Mounts without parents are not hashed (by definition).

This paves the way for delaying removal from the mount hash table even farther and fixing the MNT_LOCKED vs MNT_DETACH issue.
