VFS: Fix memory leak caused by concurrently mounting fs with subtype

Browse Source 
If two processes mount same superblock, memory leak occurs:

CPU0               |  CPU1
do_new_mount       |  do_new_mount
  fs_set_subtype   |    fs_set_subtype
    kstrdup        |
                   |      kstrdup
    memrory leak   |

The following reproducer triggers the problem:

1. shell command: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt &
2. c program: mount("/dev/sda1", "/mnt", "fuseblk", 0, "...")

with kmemleak report being along the lines of

unreferenced object 0xffff888235f1a5c0 (size 8):
  comm "mount.ntfs", pid 2860, jiffies 4295757824 (age 43.423s)

Linus's tree already have refactoring patchset [1], one of them can fix this bug:
        c30da2e981a7 ("fuse: convert to use the new mount API")
After refactoring, init super_block->s_subtype in fuse_fill_super.

Since we did not merge the refactoring patchset in this branch, I create this patch.
This patch fix this by adding a write lock while calling fs_set_subtype.
