It was recently pointed out that the one instance of testing MNT_LOCKED outside of the namespace_sem is in ksys_umount. Fix that by adding a test inside of do_umount with namespace_sem and the mount_lock held. As it helps to fail fails the existing test is maintained with an additional comment pointing out that it may be racy because the locks are not held.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
