From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit b0d3869ce9eeacbb1bbd541909beeef4126426d5 upstream. ... to protect the modification of mp->m_count done by it. Most of the places that modify that thing also have namespace_lock held, but not all of them can do so, so we really need mount_lock here. Kudos to Piotr Krysiuk <piotras@xxxxxxxxx>, who'd spotted a related bug in pivot_root(2) (fixed unnoticed in 5.3); search for other similar turds has caught out this one.
