Kernel part of reroot support - a way to change rootfs without reboot.

Description

Kernel part of reroot support - a way to change rootfs without reboot.

Note that the mountlist manipulations are somewhat fragile, and not very
pretty. The reason for this is to avoid changing vfs_mountroot(), which
is (obviously) rather mission-critical, but not very well documented,
and thus hard to test properly. It might be possible to rework it to use
its own simple root mount mechanism instead of vfs_mountroot().
