sanitize vfsmount refcounting changes

Instead of splitting refcount between (per-cpu) mnt_count
and (SMP-only) mnt_longrefs, make all references contribute
to mnt_count again and keep track of how many are longterm
ones.

Accounting rules for longterm count:
	* 1 for each fs_struct.root.mnt
	* 1 for each fs_struct.pwd.mnt
	* 1 for having non-NULL ->mnt_ns
	* decrement to 0 happens only under vfsmount lock exclusive

That allows nice common case for mntput() - since we can't drop the
final reference until after mnt_longterm has reached 0 due to the rules
above, mntput() can grab vfsmount lock shared and check mnt_longterm.
If it turns out to be non-zero (which is the common case), we know
that this is not the final mntput() and can just blindly decrement
percpu mnt_count.  Otherwise we grab vfsmount lock exclusive and
do usual decrement-and-check of percpu mnt_count.

For fs_struct.c we have mnt_make_longterm() and mnt_make_shortterm();
namespace.c uses the latter in places where we don't already hold
vfsmount lock exclusive and opencodes a few remaining spots where
we need to manipulate mnt_longterm.

Note that we mostly revert the code outside of fs/namespace.c back
to what we used to have; in particular, normal code doesn't need
to care about two kinds of references, etc.  And we get to keep
the optimization Nick's variant had bought us...
