[PATCH 2/18] cleanups and bug fix in do_loopback()

[Al Viro <viro@ftp.linux.org.uk>]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Date: 1131401704 -0500

- check_mnt() on the source of binding should've been unconditional from
the very beginning.  My fault - as far I could've trace it, that's an
old thinko made back in 2001.  Kudos to Miklos for spotting it...
Fixed.
- code cleaned up.
