[05/13] fsinfo: Add a uniquifier ID to struct mount [ver #19]

Commit Message

David Howells March 18, 2020, 3:08 p.m. UTC

Add a uniquifier ID to struct mount that is effectively unique over the
kernel lifetime to deal around mnt_id values being reused.  This can then
be exported through fsinfo() to allow detection of replacement mounts that
happen to end up with the same mount ID.

The normal mount handle is still used for referring to a particular mount.
