Otherwise we are risking a hard error where nonlazy restart would be the right
thing to do; it's a very narrow race with mount --move and most of the time it
ends up being completely harmless, but it's possible to construct a case when
we'll get a bogus hard error instead of falling back to non-lazy walk...

For one thing, when crossing _into_ overmount of parent we need to check for
mount_lock bumps when we get NULL from __lookup_mnt() as well.

For another, and less exotically, we need to make sure that the data fetched
in follow_up_rcu() had been consistent.  ->mnt_mountpoint is pinned for as
long as it is a mountpoint, but we need to check mount_lock after fetching
to verify that.
