Just when does one get a NULL file_inode()?  The reason I'm asking is
that arseloads of code would break if one managed to create such
a beast...

Incidentally, that should be return ERR_PTR(-EBADF); fdput() is wrong there.

Again, the same question - when the hell can that happen?  If you are
sitting on an exploitable roothole, do share it...

What does it have to do with mountpoints, anyway?

Umm...  Is that intended to be atomic in any sense?

Wait a sec...  So we have those beasties that can have long-term
references to arbitrary inodes stuck in them?  What will happen
if you get umount(2) called while such a thing exists?
