[PATCH 3.14 24/30] vfs: Ignore unlocked mounts in fs_fully_visible

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ceeb0e5d39fcdf4dca2c997bf225c7fc49200b37 upstream.

Limit the mounts fs_fully_visible considers to locked mounts.
Unlocked can always be unmounted so considering them adds hassle
but no security benefit.
