Fix data race in prepend_path() with re-reading mnt->mnt_ns twice without
holding the lock. is_mounted() does check for NULL, but is_anon_ns(mnt->mnt_ns)
might re-read the pointer again which could be NULL already, if in between
reads one of kern_unmount()/kern_unmount_array()/umount_tree() sets mnt->mnt_ns
to NULL.
This is seen in production with the following stack trace:
