mnt: Clarify and correct the disconnect logic in umount_tree
rmdir mntpoint will result in an infinite loop when there is a mount locked on the mountpoint in another mount namespace. This is because the logic to test to see if a mount should be disconnected in umount_tree is buggy. Move the logic to decide if a mount should remain connected to it's mountpoint into it's own function disconnect_mount so that clarity of expression instead of terseness of expression becomes a virtue. When the conditions where it is invalid to leave a mount connected are first ruled out, the logic for deciding if a mount should be disconnected becomes much clearer and simpler.
