proc/mounts: add cursor
Patch-set description:
We see a race when reading mountinfo from criu line-by-line. When we
read mountinfo line-by-line and some mounts which were already printed
were umounted before printing next mounts we can see some of next mounts
skipped from output (consequent cat /proc/<pid>/mountinfo shows them).
This leads to situations where the mount tree is inconsistend without
those missing mounts and criu fails.
So mountinfo printing based on numeric position in mounts list is racy.
We can switch to new mainstream approach witch adds mountinfo "cursor"
to mount namespace mounts list so that even if some mounts are deleted
from the list, we can still continue reading next mounts after "cursor"
consistently.
Original patch description:
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi at redhat.com>
If mounts are deleted after a read(2) call on /proc/self/mounts (or its
kin), the subsequent read(2) could miss a mount that comes after the
deleted one in the list. This is because the file position is interpreted
as the number mount entries from the start of the list.
E.g. first read gets entries #0 to #9; the seq file index will be 10. Then
entry #5 is deleted, resulting in #10 becoming #9 and #11 becoming #10,
etc... The next read will continue from entry #10, and #9 is missed.
Solve this by adding a cursor entry for each open instance. Taking the
global namespace_sem for write seems excessive, since we are only dealing
with a per-namespace list. Instead add a per-namespace spinlock and use
that together with namespace_sem taken for read to protect against
concurrent modification of the mount list. This may reduce parallelism of
is_local_mountpoint(), but it's hardly a big contention point. We could
also use RCU freeing of cursors to make traversal not need additional
locks, if that turns out to be neceesary.
Only move the cursor once for each read (cursor is not added on open) to
minimize cacheline invalidation. When EOF is reached, the cursor is taken
off the list, in order to prevent an excessive number of cursors due to
inactive open file descriptors.

Changes:
1) make mnt_is_cursor, lock_ns_list, unlock_ns_list externally visible
2) use it in VZ specific function sync_collect_filesystems to skip
cursor mounts from walk over mounts of mount namespace.
Note: This patch can be a bit risky because we add empty "cursor" mount
entries to the mount namespace list. This way we need to be very careful
when iterating the list (list_for_each_entry or list_first_entry), we
need to always skip those "cursor" mounts everywhere where we can access
it's content, or we can get crash. But there are several places where
mounts are connected with this mnt_list but not connected to namespace
and it means that they can't be mixed with "cursor" entries, so
mainstream kernel just relies on this fact and does not explicitly skip
"cursor" for them.
