Oops, my bad about the write lock, brainfart due to grepping and
reading the wrong context...

check_submounts_and_drop() doesn't do the parent walk with the rename
lock held for writing, it just holds it for reading.

But it does do that very complex "walk parents and check all siblings"
and locks them, so the rest of the commentary was correct.
