vfs: Add a function to lazily unmount all mounts from any dentry.
The new function detach_mounts comes in two pieces. The first piece is a static inline test of d_mounpoint that returns immediately without taking any locks if d_mounpoint is not set. In the common case when mountpoints are absent this allows the vfs to continue running with it's same cacheline foot print. The second piece of detach_mounts __detach_mounts actually does the work and it assumes that a mountpoint is present so it is slow and takes namespace_sem for write, and then locks the mount hash (aka mount_lock) after a struct mountpoint has been found. With those two locks held each entry on the list of mounts on a mountpoint is selected and lazily unmounted until all of the mount have been lazily unmounted. v7: Wrote a proper change description and removed the changelog documenting deleted wrong turns.
