Vulnerability Type: DoS 
CWE ID: 
Summary: fs/pnode.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4 does not properly traverse a mount propagation tree in a certain case involving a slave mount, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted series of mount system calls.
Commit Message: propogate_mnt: Handle the first propogated copy being a slave

When the first propgated copy was a slave the following oops would result:

This oops happens with the namespace_sem held and can be triggered by
non-root users.  An all around not pleasant experience.

To avoid this scenario when finding the appropriate source mount to
copy stop the walk up the mnt_master chain when the first source mount
is encountered.

Further rewrite the walk up the last_source mnt_master chain so that
it is clear what is going on.

The reason why the first source mount is special is that it it's
mnt_parent is not a mount in the dest_mnt propagation tree, and as
such termination conditions based up on the dest_mnt mount propgation
tree do not make sense.

To avoid other kinds of confusion last_dest is not changed when
computing last_source.  last_dest is only used once in propagate_one
and that is above the point of the code being modified, so changing
the global variable is meaningless and confusing.
