Pull mount_setattr fix from Christian Brauner:
 "The recent cleanup in e257039f0f ("mount_setattr(): clean the
  control flow and calling conventions") switched the mount attribute
  codepaths from do-while to for loops as they are more idiomatic when
  walking mounts.

  However, we did originally choose do-while constructs because if we
  request a mount or mount tree to be made read-only we need to hold
  writers in the following way: The mount attribute code will grab
  lock_mount_hash() and then call mnt_hold_writers() which will
  _unconditionally_ set MNT_WRITE_HOLD on the mount.

  Any callers that need write access have to call mnt_want_write(). They
  will immediately see that MNT_WRITE_HOLD is set on the mount and the
  caller will then either spin (on non-preempt-rt) or wait on
  lock_mount_hash() (on preempt-rt).

  The fact that MNT_WRITE_HOLD is set unconditionally means that once
  mnt_hold_writers() returns we need to _always_ pair it with
  mnt_unhold_writers() in both the failure and success paths.

  The do-while constructs did take care of this. But Al's change to a
  for loop in the failure path stops on the first mount we failed to
  change mount attributes _without_ going into the loop to call
  mnt_unhold_writers().

  This in turn means that once we failed to make a mount read-only via
  mount_setattr() - i.e. there are already writers on that mount - we
  will block any writers indefinitely. Fix this by ensuring that the for
  loop always unsets MNT_WRITE_HOLD including the first mount we failed
  to change to read-only. Also sprinkle a few comments into the cleanup
  code to remind people about what is happening including myself. After
  all, I didn't catch it during review.

  This is only relevant on mainline and was reported by syzbot. Details
  about the syzbot reports are all in the commit message"

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
