Ok, I did a quick test, and it looks ok here, so looking good for 3.13.
However, the new smp_mb() in mntput_no_expire() is quite noticeable in
the path lookup stress-test profiles. And I'm not seeing what that
allegedly protects against, especially if mnt_ns is NULL (ie all the
common important cases).
