Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:
 "Switch mnt_hash to hlist, turning the races between __lookup_mnt() and
  hash modifications into false negatives from __lookup_mnt() (instead
  of hangs)"

On the false negatives from __lookup_mnt():
 "The *only* thing we care about is not getting stuck in __lookup_mnt().
  If it misses an entry because something in front of it just got moved
  around, etc, we are fine.  We'll notice that mount_lock mismatch and
  that'll be it"

* 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  switch mnt_hash to hlist
  don't bother with propagate_mnt() unless the target is shared
  keep shadowed vfsmounts together
  resizable namespace.c hashes
