fix deadlock in pivot_root()
Don't hold vfsmount_lock over the loop traversing ->mnt_parent; do check_mnt(new.mnt) under namespace_sem instead; combined with namespace_sem held over all that code it'll guarantee the stability of ->mnt_parent chain all the way to the root. Doing check_mnt() outside of namespace_sem in case of pivot_root() is wrong anyway. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
