fix old umount_tree() breakage
Expiry-related code calls umount_tree() several times with
the same list to collect vfsmounts to. Which is fine, except
that umount_tree() implicitly assumed that the list would
be empty on each call - it moves the victims over there and
then iterates through the list kicking them out. It's *almost*
idempotent, so everything nearly worked. However, mnt->ghosts
handling (and thus expirability checks) had been broken - that
part was not idempotent...
The fix is trivial - use local temporary list, splice it to
the the collector list when we are through.
