Subject: [PATCH 22/73] union-mount: Add two superblock fields for union mounts
 [ver #2]

From: Valerie Aurora <vaurora@...hat.com>

Add two fields to struct super_block to support union mounts:

 (*) s_union_lower_mnts

     A pointer to a cloned vfsmount tree of all the lower (read-only) mounts
     unioned with the topmost (read-write) vfsmount.  These mounts may have
     submounts which will also be unioned; hence we copy the entire vfsmount
     tree, not just the root vfsmounts.

 (*) s_union_count

     The number of lower mounts unioned at the root of the file system.  This
     count is the maximum number of directories that will ever be unioned with
     a single directory.  We use it to allocate a union stack of the correct
     size for each directory.
