fix deadlock in pivot_root()
Don't hold vfsmount_lock over the loop traversing ->mnt_parent;
do check_mnt(new.mnt) under namespace_sem instead; combined with
namespace_sem held over all that code it'll guarantee the stability
of ->mnt_parent chain all the way to the root.
Doing check_mnt() outside of namespace_sem in case of pivot_root()
is wrong anyway.
