[PATCH 12/28] VFS: Remove (now bogus) check_mnt

[Mike Waychison]

check_mnt used to be used to see if a mountpoint was actually grafted or not
to a namespace.  This was done because we didn't support mountpoints being
attached to one another if they weren't associated with a namespace. We now
support this, so all check_mnt calls are bogus.  The only exception is that
pivot_root still requires all participants to exist within the same
namespace.
