fs: fix NULL dereference due to data race in prepend_path() 

[ Upstream commit 09cad07547 ]

Fix data race in prepend_path() with re-reading mnt->mnt_ns twice
without holding the lock.

is_mounted() does check for NULL, but is_anon_ns(mnt->mnt_ns) might
re-read the pointer again which could be NULL already, if in between
reads one of kern_unmount()/kern_unmount_array()/umount_tree() sets
mnt->mnt_ns to NULL.

This is seen in production with the following stack trace:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000048
  ...
  RIP: 0010:prepend_path.isra.4+0x1ce/0x2e0
