If a mount is released then it's mnt_id can immediately be reused. This is
bad news for user interfaces that want to uniquely identify a mount.
Implementing a unique mount ID is trivial (use a 64bit counter).
Unfortunately userspace assumes 32bit size and would overflow after the
counter reaches 2^32.
Introduce a new 64bit ID alongside the old one. Allow new interfaces to
work on both the old and new IDs by starting the counter from 2^32.
