I reviewed the patchset (not the individual patches, rather the end
result), and it seems OK to me.
It would be nice, if there was a comment about sharing the refcount
for path->mnt and nd->mnt, and how __follow_mount and __do_follow_link
deal with this.
Also, I think it would improve readability if the dealings with struct
path were extracted into separate functions. Something like the
attached patch.
