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.
The mount notification is then changed to convey these unique mount IDs
rather than the mount handle.
