Subject[PATCH] Revert "__d_unalias() should refuse to move mountpoints"
This reverts commit ee3efa91e240f513898050ef305a49a653c8ed90.

Signed-off-by: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@canonical.com>

My thread about the regression seemed to have been ignored, so I can only
conclude nobody objects against a full revert of this patch.

My testcase is simply booting through netboot with / and ~/nfs as separate
nfs filesystems, then doing 'ls ~/nfs' followed by 'ls ~' in a gnome-terminal
window, then I get:

ls: cannot access nfs: Device or resource busy

Similar things seem to happen with ls /, /dev /proc and /sys will no longer work.

Reverting this patch seems to make things work again.
