[PATCH 17/32] union-mount: Introduce union_mount structure

[Jan Blunck]

This patch adds the basic structures of VFS based union mounts. It is a new
implementation based on some of my old ideas that influenced Bharata B Rao
<bharata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> who came up with the proposal to let the
union_mount struct only point to the next layer in the union stack. I rewrote
nearly all of the central patches around lookup and the dcache interaction.

Advantages of the new implementation:
- the new union stack is no longer tied directly to one dentry
- the union stack enables dentries to be part of more than one union
  (bind mounts)
- it is unnecessary to traverse the union stack when de/referencing a dentry
- caching of union stack information still driven by dentry cache
