[PATCH v5 7/8] vfs: Replace security_sb_mount/security_move_mount with granular hooks

Replace the monolithic security_sb_mount() call in path_mount() and
security_move_mount() in vfs_move_mount() with the new granular mount
hooks:

- do_loopback(): call security_mount_bind()
- do_new_mount(): call security_mount_new()
- do_remount(): call security_mount_remount()
- do_reconfigure_mnt(): call security_mount_reconfigure()
- do_move_mount_old(): call security_mount_move()
- do_change_type(): call security_mount_change_type()
- vfs_move_mount(): replace security_move_mount() with
  security_mount_move()

The new hooks are called at the individual operation level with
appropriate context (resolved paths, fs_context), rather than at
the top of path_mount() with raw string arguments.

Code generated with the assistance of Claude, reviewed by human.
