[PATCH] fs: increase reference count for backing store when loop mounting

The VFS layer already increase the mount reference count for the mount
point. This means e.g. following sequence is well-behaving:

  mkdir -p /mnt/disk0.0/media
  mount -o loop backing.squashfs /mnt/disk0.0/media
  umount /mnt/disk0.0

barebox will do the right thing and report

  umount: Device or resource busy

However the reference count of the file where backing.squashfs comes
from is not incremented on mount with the effect that following sequence
crashes:

  mkdir -p /media
  mount -o loop /mnt/disk0.0/backing.squashfs /media
  umount /mnt/disk0.0 # should've returned EBUSY
  umount /media

Fix this by touching the backing store's mount reference count when
loop mounting and unmounting.
