vfs: allow umount to handle mountpoints without revalidating them

Christopher reported a regression where he was unable to unmount a NFS
filesystem where the root had gone stale. The problem is that
d_revalidate handles the root of the filesystem differently from other
dentries, but d_weak_revalidate does not. We could simply fix this by
making d_weak_revalidate return success on IS_ROOT dentries, but there
are cases where we do want to revalidate the root of the fs.

A umount is really a special case. We generally aren't interested in
anything but the dentry and vfsmount that's attached at that point. If
the inode turns out to be stale we just don't care since the intent is
to stop using it anyway.

Try to handle this situation better by treating umount as a special
case in the lookup code. Have it resolve the parent using normal
means, and then do a lookup of the final dentry without revalidating
it. In most cases, the final lookup will come out of the dcache, but
the case where there's a trailing symlink or !LAST_NORM entry on the
end complicates things a bit.

* This is a special lookup_last function just for umount. In this case, we
* need to resolve the path without doing any revalidation.
*
* The nameidata should be the result of doing a LOOKUP_PARENT pathwalk. Since
* mountpoints are always pinned in the dcache, their ancestors are too. Thus,
* in almost all cases, this lookup will be served out of the dcache. The only
* cases where it won't are if nd->last refers to a symlink or the path is
* bogus and it doesn't exist.
*
* Returns:
* -error: if there was an error during lookup. This includes -ENOENT if the
* lookup found a negative dentry. The nd->path reference will also be
* put in this case.
*
* 0: if we successfully resolved nd->path and found it to not to be a
* symlink that needs to be followed. "path" will also be populated.
* The nd->path reference will also be put.
*
* 1: if we successfully resolved nd->last and found it to be a symlink
* that needs to be followed. "path" will be populated with the path
