Establish lock ordering for vfs.FilesystemImpl.PrependPath.
Add type parameter Filesystem to vfs/genericfstree, which is required to
provide
ancestryMu sync.RWMutex
.Modify genericfstree.PrependPath() and genericfstree.IsDescendant() to use
ancestryMu to ensure atomicity. For callers of genericfstree.PrependPath(),
this means that (broader) FSImpl locks no longer need to be held during the
call. For callers of genericfstree.IsDescendant(), this means that
IsDescendant() now has the same atomicity as Linux's fs/dcache.c:is_subdir(),
so remove documentation warnings about its non-atomicity.
