fs/namespace.c: fix mountpoint reference counter race

Browse source 
A race condition between threads updating mountpoint reference counter
affects longterm releases 4.4.220, 4.9.220, 4.14.177 and 4.19.118.

The mountpoint reference counter corruption may occur when:
* one thread increments m_count member of struct mountpoint
  [under namespace_sem, but not holding mount_lock]
    pivot_root()
* another thread simultaneously decrements the same m_count
  [under mount_lock, but not holding namespace_sem]
    put_mountpoint()
      unhash_mnt()
        umount_mnt()
          mntput_no_expire()

To fix this race condition, grab mount_lock before updating m_count in
pivot_root().
