[PATCH 4/6 v9] fs: New helper legitimize_mntget() for getting a legitimize mnt

[Kinglong Mee <kinglongmee-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

New helper legitimize_mntget for getting a mnt without setting
MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT | MNT_UMOUNT | MNT_DOOMED, otherwise return NULL.

v9, Update using read_seqbegin_or_lock instead read_seqlock_excl
