ovl: make private mounts longterm
Overlayfs is using clone_private_mount() to create internal mounts for underlying layers. These are used for operations requiring a path, such as dentry_open(). Since these private mounts are not in any namespace they are treated as short term, "detached" mounts and mntput() involves taking the global mount_lock, which can result in serious cacheline pingpong. Make these private mounts longterm instead, which trade the penalty on mntput() for a slightly longer shutdown time due to an added RCU grace period when putting these mounts. Introduce a new helper kern_unmount_many() that can take care of multiple longterm mounts with a single RCU grace period.
