Bzzzert. Wrong. If you want that at all, at least do it right. _If_
we want these games with the subtrees - let's create a vfsmount for each
export and pass it as an argument. That, BTW, will solve the problem
with umounting exported filesystems (if you don't want it - also fine, we
can always bump the ->mnt_count on original vfsmount of export point).
