Holding namespace_sem is enough to make sure that result remains valid.
It is *not* enough to avoid false negatives from __lookup_mnt(). Mounts
can be unhashed outside of namespace_sem (stuck children getting detached
on final mntput() of lazy-umounted mount) and having an unrelated mount
removed from the hash chain while we traverse it may end up with false
negative from __lookup_mnt(). We need to sample and recheck the seqlock
component of mount_lock...
Bug predates the introduction of path_overmount() - it had come from
the code in finish_automount() that got abstracted into that helper.
