[Devel] [PATCH] ve/fs: add per-VE limit of mount points

Zenya,

1) an idea from Volodya Davydov: we can store the pointer to ve_struct, not the veid,
    thus we'll eliminate possible races with veid reuse.

2) there are 2 more comments from Stas (3 total), please take a look.


i don't mind leaving it as a global sysctl because hopefully it will never used =>
less time spent to rework. And we currently really don't need it to be per-CT.
