Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 3/3] __legitimize_mnt(): check for MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT should be under mount_lock

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

[ Upstream commit 250cf3693060a5f803c5f1ddc082bb06b16112a9 ]

... or we risk stealing final mntput from sync umount - raising mnt_count
after umount(2) has verified that victim is not busy, but before it
has set MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT; in that case __legitimize_mnt() doesn't see
that it's safe to quietly undo mnt_count increment and leaves dropping
the reference to caller, where it'll be a full-blown mntput().

Check under mount_lock is needed; leaving the current one done before
taking that makes no sense - it's nowhere near common enough to bother
with.
