Nest rename_lock inside vfsmount_lock
commit 7ea600b5314529f9d1b9d6d3c41cb26fce6a7a4a upstream.
... lest we get livelocks between path_is_under() and d_path() and friends.
The thing is, wrt fairness lglocks are more similar to rwsems than to rwlocks;
it is possible to have thread B spin on attempt to take lock shared while thread
A is already holding it shared, if B is on lower-numbered CPU than A and there's
a thread C spinning on attempt to take the same lock exclusive.
As the result, we need consistent ordering between vfsmount_lock (lglock) and
rename_lock (seq_lock), even though everything that takes both is going to take
vfsmount_lock only shared.
