vfs: add path_has_submounts()
d_mountpoint() can only be used reliably to establish if a dentry is
not mounted in any namespace. It isn't aware of the possibility there
may be multiple mounts using the given dentry, possibly in a different
namespace.
Add function, path_has_submounts(), that checks is a struct path contains
mounts (or is a mountpoint itself) to handle this case.
