ksys_umount was refactored to into split into another function
(path_umount) to enable sharing code. This changed the order that flags and
permissions are validated in, and made it so that user_path_at was called
before validating flags.
Unfortunately, libfuse2[1] and libmount[2] rely on the old flag validation
behaviour to determine whether or not the kernel supports UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW.
The other path that this validation is being checked on is
init_umount->path_umount->can_umount. That's all internal to the kernel. We
can safely move flag checking to ksys_umount, and let other users of
path_umount know they need to perform their own validation.
