Subject: mnt: Update detach_mounts to leave mounts connected
From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e0c9c0afd2fc958ffa34b697972721d81df8a56f upstream.
Now that it is possible to lazily unmount an entire mount tree and
leave the individual mounts connected to each other add a new flag
UMOUNT_CONNECTED to umount_tree to force this behavior and use
this flag in detach_mounts.
This closes a bug where the deletion of a file or directory could
trigger an unmount and reveal data under a mount point.
