add unique mount ID
If a mount is released then its mnt_id can immediately be reused. This is bad news for user interfaces that want to uniquely identify a mount. Implementing a unique mount ID is trivial (use a 64bit counter). Unfortunately userspace assumes 32bit size and would overflow after the counter reaches 2^32. Introduce a new 64bit ID alongside the old one. Initialize the counter to 2^32, this guarantees that the old and new IDs are never mixed up.
