[PATCH 01/34] namespace: take lock_mount_hash() directly when changing flags

[Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Changing mount options always ends up taking lock_mount_hash() but when
MNT_READONLY is requested and neither the mount nor the superblock are
not already MNT_READONLY we end up taking the lock, dropping it, and
retaking it to change the other mount attributes. Instead of this,
acquire the lock once when changing mount properties. This simplifies
the locking in these codepath, makes them easier to reason about and
avoids having to reacquire the lock right after dropping it.
