Fix data race in prepend_path() with re-reading mnt->mnt_ns twice
without holding the lock.
is_mounted() does check for NULL, but is_anon_ns(mnt->mnt_ns) might
re-read the pointer again which could be NULL already, if in between
reads one of kern_unmount()/kern_unmount_array()/umount_tree() sets
mnt->mnt_ns to NULL.
This is seen in production with the following stack trace:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000048
