+ *
+ * The common case is dentries are not mountpoints at all and that
+ * test is handled inline.  For the slow case when we are actually
+ * dealing with a mountpoint of some kind, walk through all of the
+ * mounts in the current mount namespace and test to see if the dentry
+ * is a mountpoint.
+ *
+ * The mount_hashtable is not usable in the context because we
+ * need to identify all mounts that may be in the current mount
+ * namespace not just a mount that happens to have some specified
+ * parent mount.
