VFS: New /proc file /proc/self/mountstats

Create a new file under /proc/self, called mountstats, where mounted file
systems can export information (configuration options, performance counters,
and so on).  Use a mechanism similar to /proc/mounts and s_ops->show_options.

This mechanism does not violate namespace security, and is safe to use while
other processes are unmounting file systems.

Thanks to Mike Waychison for his review and comments.

Test-plan:
Test concurrent mount/unmount operations while cat'ing /proc/self/mountstats.
