ChenXiaoSong 9508190f3d VFS: Fix memory leak caused by concurrently mounting fs with subtype
If two processes mount same superblock, memory leak occurs:

CPU0               |  CPU1
do_new_mount       |  do_new_mount
  fs_set_subtype   |    fs_set_subtype
    kstrdup        |
                   |      kstrdup
    memrory leak   |

The following reproducer triggers the problem:

1. shell command: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt &
2. c program: mount("/dev/sda1", "/mnt", "fuseblk", 0, "...")

with kmemleak report being along the lines of

unreferenced object 0xffff888235f1a5c0 (size 8):
  comm "mount.ntfs", pid 2860, jiffies 4295757824 (age 43.423s)
  hex dump (first 8 bytes):

Linus's tree already have refactoring patchset [1], one of them can fix this bug:
        c30da2e981a7 ("fuse: convert to use the new mount API")
After refactoring, init super_block->s_subtype in fuse_fill_super.

Since we did not merge the refactoring patchset in this branch, I create this patch.
This patch fix this by adding a write lock while calling fs_set_subtype.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
