copy_tree() can theoretically fail in a case other than ENOMEM, but always
returns NULL which is interpreted by callers as -ENOMEM. Change it to return
an explicit error.
Also change clone_mnt() for consistency and because union mounts will add new
error cases.
Thanks to Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> for a bug fix.

don't rely on proc_mounts->m being the first field; container_of()
is there for purpose. No need to bother with ->private, while
we are at it - the same container_of will do nicely.

it's enough to set ->mnt_ns of internal vfsmounts to something
distinct from all struct mnt_namespace out there; then we can
just use the check for ->mnt_ns != NULL in the fast path of
mntput_no_expire()

__mnt_make_shortterm() in there undoes the effect of __mnt_make_longterm()
we'd done back when we set ->mnt_ns non-NULL; it should not be done to
vfsmounts that had never gone through commit_tree() and friends. Kudos to
lczerner for catching that one...

lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.
In preparation, this patch changes the API to look more like normal
function calls with pointers, not magic macros.
The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep
it bisectable. This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed.
But no actual behaviour change.

If there are any inodes on the super block that have been unlinked
(i_nlink == 0) but have not yet been deleted then prevent the
remounting the super block read-only.

Currently remouting superblock read-only is racy in a major way.
With the per mount read-only infrastructure it is now possible to
prevent most races, which this patch attempts.
Before starting the remount read-only, iterate through all mounts
belonging to the superblock and if none of them have any pending
writes, set sb->s_readonly_remount. This indicates that remount is in
progress and no further write requests are allowed. If the remount
succeeds set MS_RDONLY and reset s_readonly_remount.
If the remounting is unsuccessful just reset s_readonly_remount.
This can result in transient EROFS errors, despite the fact the
remount failed. Unfortunately hodling off writes is difficult as
remount itself may touch the filesystem (e.g. through load_nls())
which would deadlock.
A later patch deals with delayed writes due to nlink going to zero.
