[PATCH 05/11] vfs: Add a function to lazily unmount all mounts from any dentry.

[Eric W. Biederman]

v2: Always drop the lock when exiting early.
v3: Make detach_mounts robust about freeing several
    mounts on the same mountpoint at one time, and remove
    the unneeded mnt_list list test.
v4: Document the purpose of detach_mounts and why new_mountpoint is
    safe to call.
