Subject: [RFC] __d_path() API change (was Re: [PATCH] Remove use of
 mnt_ns->root and fix a couple of bugs in d_namespace_path)

	I think I have a saner solution; the root of the problem is that
__d_path() API is asking for trouble.  What I'm proposing is:

	* Give prepend_path() an extra argument for reporting which
fatherless thing has it reached if it has missed the root - struct
path *bastard.  struct path *root becomes const on that *and* what
we put into *bastard is properly grabbed.  We do that only if that
pointer is not NULL, of course.  In any case we return 1 if we go
out through global_root:

	* modify the callers accordingly; everything except __d_path()
will simply pass NULL as that extra argument and instead of checking
if root has been changed, just check if return value was positive.

	* __d_path() gets the similar extra argument itself; if it's non-NULL
and we miss the root, the caller can expect to get (referenced) point where
the walk has stopped stored there.  _Maybe_ it ought to fill it with
NULL/NULL otherwise; I've just done that in the only such caller before
calling __d_path().  If it is NULL *and* root has not been NULL/NULL (i.e.
we asked for subtree explicitly and have nowhere to put the stopping point),
we return NULL instead of pointer to relative pathname.

	* seq_path_root() does _NOT_ return -ENAMETOOLONG (it's stupid anyway -
the normal seq_file logics will take care of growing the buffer and redoing
the call of ->show() just fine).  However, if it gets path not reachable
from root, it returns SEQ_SKIP.  The only caller adjusted (i.e. stopped
ignoring the return value as it used to do).

	* unlike seq_path_root(), the caller in tomoyo passes NULL/NULL in
*root (it wants absolute path).  It still calls with bastard == NULL, so
no references are grabbed.

	* apparmor d_namespace_path() calls __d_path() passing it a pointer
to local struct path to fill.  It's been earlier initialized to NULL/NULL
(see above in part about __d_path()), so the check for "has it been outside
of chroot jail" is simply bastard.mnt != NULL after the call.  Moreover,
in this case it's safe to access vfsmount and dentry; we can do the checks
just fine, they won't be freed under us.  One more thing - I've exported
uninlined variant of check_mnt() (called our_mnt(), for obvious reasons)
and used it here.

Completely untested patch follows:
