[PATCH review 8/9] mnt: Remove redundant NULL tests in namespace_unlock

[Eric W. Biederman]

mntget, mntput, dput and pathput all test their arguments to see if
they are NULL before taking any action, so testing for NULL in
namespace_unlock is redundant.

Remove the redundant checks making namespace_unlock a little
shorter and easier to read.

This also makes it possible for mnt_ex_mountpoint.mnt to be NULL
allowing putting a dentry without a mount.  This is will be needed
in __detach_mounts when detaching already unmounted children,
as part of the fix for MNT_DETACH on MNT_LOCKED mounts.
