From: Valerie Aurora <vaurora@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add two fields to struct super_block to support union mounts:
(*) s_union_lower_mnts
A pointer to a cloned vfsmount tree of all the lower (read-only) mounts
unioned with the topmost (read-write) vfsmount. These mounts may have
submounts which will also be unioned; hence we copy the entire vfsmount
tree, not just the root vfsmounts.
(*) s_union_count
The number of lower mounts unioned at the root of the file system. This
count is the maximum number of directories that will ever be unioned with
a single directory. We use it to allocate a union stack of the correct
size for each directory.
