Subject: [ 41/82] vfs: umount_tree() might be called on subtree that had never made it

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

commit 63d37a84ab6004c235314ffd7a76c5eb28c2fae0 upstream.

__mnt_make_shortterm() in there undoes the effect of __mnt_make_longterm()
we'd done back when we set ->mnt_ns non-NULL; it should not be done to
vfsmounts that had never gone through commit_tree() and friends.  Kudos to
lczerner for catching that one...
