vfs: new internal helper: mnt_has_parent(mnt)

vfsmounts have ->mnt_parent pointing either to a different vfsmount
or to itself; it's never NULL and termination condition in loops
traversing the tree towards root is mnt == mnt->mnt_parent.  At least
one place (see the next patch) is confused about what's going on;
let's add an explicit helper checking it right way and use it in
all places where we need it.  Not that there had been too many,
but...
