We went down that rat hole in NFSv4 and it wasn't pretty.  I would much
rather enforce the rule that there can't be any cycles in the namespace.
But that would be very hard to do, both technically and politically.

For now, if you do create multiple paths to the same volume, you get what
you deserve (in my opinion).
