Subject: [PATCH 1/1] cr: fix use of __d_path()
__d_path():
1. should be used under dcache_lock
2. can change root->{mnt,dentry} without changing refcounts
The second point was the cause of my BUGs. The ctx->root was passed
in, and do_checkpoint() had taken a path_get on the vfsroot. So now
at cleanup it was doing path_put() using another mnt+dentry.
(Why they are different, I'm not sure - but my guess would be that
stdin or stdout is inherited from the parent task in parent mntns,
hence file->mnt is different from root->mnt as it's a different
namespace.)
