Subject[PATCH] don't invalidate non-directory mountpoints
From
Date
d_invalidate allowed a non-directory mountpoint to be invalidated,
which is bad, since the mountpoint becomes unreachable.

I know it's racy wrt attaching/detaching mount, but AFAICS so is
everything else that unhashes the dentry. This seems to be an
oversight when splitting out vfsmount_lock from dcache_lock. To be
fixed.
