fuse: share lookup state between submount and its parent
commit c4d361f upstream. Fuse submounts do not perform a lookup for the nodeid that they inherit from their parent. Instead, the code decrements the nlookup on the submount's fuse_inode when it is instantiated, and no forget is performed when a submount root is evicted. Trouble arises when the submount's parent is evicted despite the submount itself being in use. In this author's case, the submount was in a container and deatched from the initial mount namespace via a MNT_DEATCH operation. When memory pressure triggered the shrinker, the inode from the parent was evicted, which triggered enough forgets to render the submount's nodeid invalid. Since submounts should still function, even if their parent goes away, solve this problem by sharing refcounted state between the parent and its submount. When all of the references on this shared state reach zero, it's safe to forget the final lookup of the fuse nodeid.
