New helper: deactivate_locked_super() 

Does equivalent of up_write(&s->s_umount); deactivate_super(s);
However, it does not does not unlock it until it's all over.
As the result, it's safe to use to dispose of new superblock on ->get_sb()
failure exits - nobody will see the sucker until it's all over.
Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose
if superblock is either	safe to use or has NULL ->s_root when we unlock.
Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but
	a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them.
	b) up_write/deactivate_super sequence is extremely common,
so the helper makes sense anyway.
