Subject[RFC][PATCH 3/3] vfs: Lazily remove mounts on unlinked files and directories.

With the introduction of mount namespaces and bind mounts it because
possible to access files and directories that in other locations in
were used as mount points. Especially with mount namespaces has
become very confusing why rm -rf somedir return -EBUSY because some
directory is mounted somewhere else. With the addition of user
namespaces allowing unprivileged mounts this condition has gone from
annoying to allowing a DOS attack on more privileged users.

The simplest approach appears to be to remove the -EBUSY message,
allow unlink and rename, and lazily unmount the mount point.

In most cases this is less surprising as this is an implementation
of the normal unix behavior of allowing unlinking of files.

The change implemented in this patch allows the following to succeed:

The vfs does not currently follow paths up to the final component for
the rename and unlink system calls making the boldest version of this
idea the simplest to implement. Which should it simple to spot problems
with this idea.

While different from our historical behavior this change does not look
like it will break anything, or introduce any security
vulnerabilities. In a quick survey of all of the common mount points
on linux systems I found mount points in directories owned and
modifiable by root, and fuse fuse mounts in directories owned by the
``mounter'' of the fuse filesystem. In both of these cases relying on
the permissions of the directory does not practically change the user
who is allowed to unmount the filesystem.

Attempting to anticipate cases I have not witnessed I observe that
every directory in a trusted path to a file must limit modification
such that no one else may modify that directory. For files trusted by
suid root executables root most own and be the only user capable of
modifying the directory and all parent directories for the files to be
safe. Therefore for mount points part of a trusted path only root
should be able to unlink any directory or file on that path. Which
means after this change for a secured path only root can unmount
directories.

For mount points part of a path we can not trust we should not care if
the just disappear, as that is just another kind of arbitrary
manipulation.

So I conclude that the existing conditions will ensure that the permissions
on directories will be sufficiently limited that the new unmount on unlink
behavior will not cause problems.
