[PATCH] lock exclusively in collect_mounts() and drop_collected_mounts() 

Taking namespace_sem shared there isn't worth the trouble, especially with
vfsmount ID allocation about to be added.  That way we know that umount_tree(),
copy_tree() and clone_mnt() are _always_ serialized by namespace_sem.
umount_tree() still needs vfsmount_lock (it manipulates hash chains, among
other things), but that's a separate story.
