Add a uniquifier ID to struct mount that is effectively unique over the kernel lifetime to deal around mnt_id values being reused. This can then be exported through fsinfo() to allow detection of replacement mounts that happen to end up with the same mount ID. The normal mount handle is still used for referring to a particular mount.
