In light of recent conversations about double umount_tree.

Do we want to simply limit ourselves to attaching file->f_path of
a FMODE_NEED_UMOUNT file descriptor and clearing FMODE_NEED_UMOUNT
when it is attached?

Either that or perhaps move the logic into mntput on when to perform the
umount_tree?

Otherwise I believe we start running into surprising situations:

This works:
ofd = open_tree(...);
dup_fd = openat(ofd, "", O_PATH);
mount_move(dup_fd, ...);
close(ofd);
close(dup_fd);

This should fail:
ofd = open_tree(...);
dup_fd = openat(ofd, "", O_PATH);
close(ofd);
mount_move(dup_fd, ...);
close(dup_fd);

Allowing any file descriptor that points to mnt_ns == NULL without
MNT_UMOUNT set seems like it is adding flexibility for no reason.

^^^^^^ This change should be unnecessary.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

!old->mnt_ns should only be allowed when it comes from a file
descriptor with FMODE_NEED_UMOUNT.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Somewhere around here we should have code that clears FMODE_NEED_UMOUNT.
