Remove the extra reference added to mnt_count by the mnt_pinned code, and stop jumping to the top of mntput_no_expire. When fput synchronously called mntput that extra reference count and the loop ensured that after acct_auto_close_mnt closed all of the pinned references mntput_no_expire would then proceed actually unmount the filesystem. As fput is asynchronous today there is no point in looping. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
