[PATCH] namespace.c: fix expiring of detached mount
This patch fixes a bug noticed by Al Viro: However, we still have a problem here - just what would happen if vfsmount is detached while we were grabbing namespace semaphore? Refcount alone is not useful here - we might be held by whoever had detached the vfsmount. IOW, we should check that it's still attached (i.e. that mnt->mnt_parent != mnt). If it's not - just leave it alone, do mntput() and let whoever holds it deal with the sucker. No need to put it back on lists.
