vfs: check submounts and drop atomically
We check submounts before doing d_drop() on a non-empty directory dentry in
NFS (have_submounts()), but we do not exclude a racing mount.
Process A: have_submounts() -> returns false
Process B: mount() -> success
Process A: d_drop()
This patch prepares the ground for the fix by doing the following
operations all under the same rename lock:
have_submounts()
shrink_dcache_parent()
d_drop()
This is actually an optimization since have_submounts() and
shrink_dcache_parent() both traverse the same dentry tree separately.
