VFS: Clean up shared mount flag propagation
The handling of mount flags in set_mnt_shared() got a little tangled up during previous cleanups, with the following problems: * MNT_PNODE_MASK is defined as a literal constant when it should be a bitwise xor of other MNT_* flags * set_mnt_shared() clears and then sets MNT_SHARED (part of MNT_PNODE_MASK) * MNT_PNODE_MASK could use a comment in mount.h * MNT_PNODE_MASK is a terrible name, change to MNT_SHARED_MASK This patch fixes these problems.
