replace collect_mounts()/drop_collected_mounts() with a safer variant
collect_mounts() has several problems - one can't iterate over the results directly, so it has to be done with callback passed to iterate_mounts(); it has an oopsable race with d_invalidate(); it creates temporary clones of mounts invisibly for sync umount (IOW, you can have non-lazy umount succeed leaving filesystem not mounted anywhere and yet still busy). A saner approach is to give caller an array of struct path that would pin every mount in a subtree, without cloning any mounts. * collect_mounts()/drop_collected_mounts()/iterate_mounts() is gone * collect_paths(where, preallocated, size) gives either ERR_PTR(-E...) or a pointer to array of struct path, one for each chunk of tree visible under 'where' (i.e. the first element is a copy of where, followed by (mount,root) for everything mounted under it - the same set collect_mounts() would give). Unlike collect_mounts(), the mounts are *not* cloned - we just get pinning references to the roots of subtrees in the caller's namespace. Array is terminated by {NULL, NULL} struct path. If it fits into preallocated array (on-stack, normally), that's where it goes; otherwise it's allocated by kmalloc_array(). Passing 0 as size means that 'preallocated' is ignored (and expected to be NULL). * drop_collected_paths(paths, preallocated) is given the array returned by an earlier call of collect_paths() and the preallocated array passed to that call. All mount/dentry references are dropped and array is kfree'd if it's not equal to 'preallocated'. * instead of iterate_mounts(), users should just iterate over array of struct path - nothing exotic is needed for that. Existing users (all in audit_tree.c) are converted.
