[PATCH] sanitize the interface of graft_tree().
Old semantics: graft_tree() grabs a reference on the vfsmount before returning success. New one: graft_tree() leaves that to caller. All the callers of graft_tree() immediately dropped that reference anyway. Changing the interface takes care of this unnecessary overhead. Idea proposed by Al Viro.
