[PATCH 1/5] Safer nfsd_cross_mnt()

[Al Viro <viro-rfM+Q5joDG/XmaaqVzeoHQ@public.gmane.org>]

AFAICS, we have a subtle bug there: if we have crossed mountpoint
*and* it got mount --move'd away, we'll be holding only one
reference to fs containing dentry - exp->ex_path.mnt.  IOW, we
ought to dput() before exp_put().
