[PATCH 21/34] union-mount: Create prepare_mnt_union() and cleanup_mnt_union()

From: Valerie Aurora
Date: Thu Sep 16 2010 - 18:20:28 EST


prepare_mnt_union() ties together all the mount-time checks and setup
for union mounts. It tests the layers for suitability and builds the
root union stack.

cleanup_mnt_union() unwinds everything prepare_mnt_union() does.
