Konstantin Belousov 714b7df502 Provide simple mutual exclusion between mount point update and unmount.
Currently mount update keeps vfs_busy(9) reference on the mount point
during MNT_UPDATE VFS_MOUNT() vfsops call.  This already provides the
exclusion, but is problematic for filesystems which need to perform
namei(9) during VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) operations, e.g. to refresh
mnt_from path, because namei(9) must not be called while the
vfs_busy(9) reference is owned.

Check for MNT_UPDATE flag before setting MNTK_UNMOUNT, and for
MNTK_UNMOUNT before entering innards of vfs_domount_update(), failing
syscalls with EBUSY if conflict is detected.  Keep vfs_busy(9)
reference around VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE) calls still to not change VFS
KPI.

In the update path in ffs_mount(), drop vfs_busy() reference around
namei(), which is now safe due to unmount never executing in parallel
with VFS_MOUNT(MNT_UPDATE), and which avoids the deadlock.
