Thanks, I tested this patch and was unable to reproduce the scenario
where an OOM resulted in the submount from the guest in the guest
getting an EBADF from virtiofsd.  (I did generate OOMs, though).

I am curious what you have in mind in order to move this towards a
proper fix?  I shied away from the approach of stealing a nlookup from
mp_fi beacuse it wasn't clear that I could always count on the nlookup
in the parent staying positive.  E.g. I was afraid I was either going to
not have enough nlookups to move to submounts, or trigger a forget from
an exiting container that leads to an EBADF from the initial mount
namespace.
