Subject: r/o bind mounts: give permission() a local 'mnt' variable
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c7eb26678e59f16f4e84f1176d187cd21a27414d;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

r/o bind mounts: give permission() a local 'mnt' variable

First of all, this makes the structure jumping look a little bit cleaner.  So,
this stands alone as a tiny cleanup.  But, we also need 'mnt' by itself a few
more times later in this series, so this isn't _just_ a cleanup.
