[PATCH 6/18] sanitize the interface of graft_tree().

[PATCH 6/18] sanitize the interface of graft_tree().

[Al Viro]

From: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com>
Date: 1131401789 -0500

Old semanitcs: graft_tree() grabs a reference on the vfsmount before
returning success.
New one: graft_tree() leaves that to caller.

All the callers of graft_tree() immediately dropped that reference anyway.
Changing the interface takes care of this unnecessary overhead.

Idea proposed by Al-Viro.
