I expect this patch also addresses the bug. Can you please review and test it?


From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
Subject: vfs: fix invalid ida_remove() call

When the group id of a shared mount is not allocated, the umount still
tries to call mnt_release_group_id(), which eventually hits a kernel
warning at ida_remove() spewing a message like:

ida_remove called for id=0 which is not allocated.

This patch fixes the bug simply checking the group id in the caller.
