rcuwalk: recheck mount_lock after mountpoint crossing attempts
We can get false negative from __lookup_mnt() if an unrelated vfsmount gets moved. In that case legitimize_mnt() is guaranteed to fail, and we will fall back to non-RCU walk... unless we end up running into a hard error on a filesystem object we wouldn't have reached if not for that false negative. IOW, delaying that check until the end of pathname resolution is wrong - we should recheck right after we attempt to cross the mountpoint. We don't need to recheck unless we see d_mountpoint() being true - in that case even if we have just raced with mount/umount, we can simply go on as if we'd come at the moment when the sucker wasn't a mountpoint; if we run into a hard error as the result, it was a legitimate outcome. __lookup_mnt() returning NULL is different in that respect, since it might've happened due to operation on completely unrelated mountpoint.
