Subject: [PATCH v3 01/38] namespace: take lock_mount_hash() directly when changing flags

Changing mount options always ends up taking lock_mount_hash() but when
MNT_READONLY is requested and neither the mount nor the superblock are
MNT_READONLY we end up taking the lock, dropping it, and retaking it to change
the other mount attributes. Instead, let's acquire the lock once when changing
the mount attributes. This simplifies the locking in these codepath, makes them
easier to reason about and avoids having to reacquire the lock right after
dropping it.

/* v2 */
- Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>:
  - Remove pointless __mnt_unmake_readonly() helper.
  - Even though Christoph suggested to lockdep_assert_held() into places that
    require {lock,unlock}_mount_hash() it seems that seqlock's don't support
    it.

/* v3 */
unchanged
