[PATCH] namei fixes
OK, here comes a patch series that hopefully should close all
too-early-mntput() races in fs/namei.c. Entire area is convoluted as hell, so
I'm splitting that series into _very_ small chunks.
Patches alread in the tree close only (very wide) races in following symlinks
(see "busy inodes after umount" thread some time ago). Unfortunately, quite a
few narrower races of the same nature were not closed. Hopefully this should
take care of all of them.
