Summary
__legitimize_mnt(): check for MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT should be under mount_lock
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

__legitimizemnt(): check for MNTSYNCUMOUNT should be under mountlock

... or we risk stealing final mntput from sync umount - raising mntcount after umount(2) has verified that victim is not busy, but before it has set MNTSYNC_UMOUNT; in that case __legitimizemnt() doesn't see that it's safe to quietly undo mntcount increment and leaves dropping the reference to caller, where it'll be a full-blown mntput().

Check under mount_lock is needed; leaving the current one done before taking that makes no sense - it's nowhere near common enough to bother with.
