Subject: [PATCH 5.10 138/152] umount(2): move the flag validity checks first

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

commit a0a6df9afcaf439a6b4c88a3b522e3d05fdef46f upstream.

Unfortunately, there's userland code that used to rely upon these
checks being done before anything else to check for UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW
support.  That broke in 41525f56e256 ("fs: refactor ksys_umount").
Separate those from the rest of checks and move them to ksys_umount();
unlike everything else in there, this can be sanely done there.
