Add "relatime" (relative atime) support.  Relative atime only updates the
atime if the previous atime is older than the mtime or ctime.  Like
noatime, but useful for applications like mutt that need to know when a
file has been read since it was last modified.

A corresponding patch against mount(8) is available at
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mount-relative-atime.txt

Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.

This complements the get_sb() patch.  That reduced the significance of
sb-&gt;s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there.  However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.

Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

do_kern_mount() does not allow the kernel to use private mount interfaces
without exposing the same interfaces to userland. The problem is that the
filesystem is referenced by name, thus meaning that it and its mount
interface must be registered in the global filesystem list.

vfs_kern_mount() passes the struct file_system_type as an explicit
parameter in order to overcome this limitation.

Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags.

After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch.  The mount code
needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and
touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to
the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always
noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore.  Besides that core code
only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server
and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether
it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization.

While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were
only used by touch_atime.

An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation.  Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts.  The semantics is as follows.

Bind semantics:
  It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.

Move semantics:
  It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.

Clone-namespace semantics:
  If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
  cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too.  Note:
  there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
  but can be cloned during clone-namespace.
