This cycle a lot of stuff sits on topical branches, so I'll be sending more or a less pull request per branch. If you prefer a single pull request in such situations for the future, please tell. This is the first pile; more to follow in a few. In this one are several misc commits from early in the cycle (before I went for separate branches) + rework of mntput/dput ordering on umount, switching to use of fs_pin instead of convoluted games in namespace_unlock().
