Christian Brauner ba5afb9a84 fs: rework listmount() implementation ...

Linus pointed out that there's error handling and naming issues in the
that we should rewrite:

* Perform the access checks for the buffer before actually doing any
  work instead of doing it during the iteration.
* Rename the arguments to listmount() and do_listmount() to clarify what
  the arguments are used for.
* Get rid of the pointless ctr variable and overflow checking.
* Get rid of the pointless speculation check.
