vfs: add NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2)

Browse Source 
Add a new UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2).  This is needed to prevent
symlink attacks in unprivileged unmounts (fuse, samba, ncpfs).

Additionally, return -EINVAL if an unknown flag is used (and specify
an explicitly unused flag: UMOUNT_UNUSED).  This makes it possible for
the caller to determine if a flag is supported or not.
