[PATCH 19/39] union-mount: Introduce union_mount structure and basic operations

[Valerie Aurora]

From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@xxxxxxx>

This patch adds the basic structures and operations of VFS-based union
mounts (but not the ability to mount or lookup unioned file systems).
Each directory in a unioned file system has an associated union stack
created when the directory is first looked up.  The union stack is a
structure kept in a hash table indexed by mount and dentry of the
directory; thus, specific paths are unioned, not dentries alone.  The
union stack keeps a pointer to the upper path and the lower path and
can be looked up by either path.

This particular version of union mounts is based on ideas by Jan
Blunck, Bharata Rao, and many others.
