This is detected by the commit in v5.3-rc1,
	d6fc9fcbaa65 2019-07-08 kbuild: compile-test exported headers to
		ensure they are self-contained
But the issue is not for v5.3-rc1 only I am afraid.  So this commit is
brought to aufs4.14 which is my current development base.

The scenario is very similar to previous commit
"aufs: bugfix, ignore the being freed dynop object".
One exception is that this commit is for sbinfo object which is managed
by kobject (instead of kref).

In order to enter the plink-maintenance mode, users write an ID to
"/proc/fs/aufs/plink_maint" (this path is defined as macros in
include/uapi/linux/aufs_type.h).  If someone else is unmounting the
aufs mount corresponding that ID, then the searcher task may find a
being freed sbinfo object.
The problem and the fix is very similar to previous commit
"aufs: bugfix, ignore the being freed dynop object".

Aufs DYNOP (Dynamically customizable FS operations) object is managed by
kref, and when its counter reaches zero, the callback function removes
the object from the internal list which is protected by a spinlock and
then frees the object.
Here there is a small time window between
A: the counter reaches zero, and
B: require the lock to remove the object from the list.
If someone else acquires the lock and searches the list, it may find the
counter-zero'ed object which means the object is being freed.
This commit ignores the object whose counter is already zero.

At the mount-time, XINO files are created and removed very soon.  When
multiple mounts with being given the same XINO file path executed in
parallel, some of them may fail in creating XINO due to EEXIST.
Introducing a local mutex, make it serialized.
By default, XINO is created at the top dir of the first writable
branch.  In this case, the new mutex won't be used.

Obviously this is an unnecessary overhead when the XINO file path is not
same, and such lock should be done by inode_lock() for the parent dir.
Actually au_xino_create2() behaves in this manner.  Then why didn't I
apply the same way to this au_xino_create()?  It is just because of my
laziness.  Calling VFS filp_open() here is easy for me.

Although I am not sure module_exit is necessary for the statically
linked module, here is it.  I hope it does no harm.

They are historical options and a branch attribute.

Fuse doesn't want the callers to access the inode attributes without
issuing stat, and it is not assured that they are valid after lookup or
iget().
The inode attribute is critical for aufs, and aufs decided to call stat
every time for fuse.
Of course, it makes aufs slow. But when the branch fs is not fuse, stat
is not called.

Currently, only FUSE implements ->poll(), and aufs supports it.

Basically ramfs is limited for its size, and is not suitable for aufs RW
branch. But people sometimes use it as RW branch without knowing it or
with knowing it.
This configuration is for those who knows what he is doing.

Special support for filesystems which acquires an inode mutex at final
closing a file, eg, hfsplus.
This trick is very simple and stupid, just to open the file before really
necessary open to tell hfsplus that this is not the final closing.
The caller should call au_h_open_pre() after acquiring the inode mutex,
and au_h_open_post() after releasing it.
