new helpers: vfs_create_mount(), fc_mount()
Create a new helper, vfs_create_mount(), that creates a detached vfsmount object from an fs_context that has a superblock attached to it. Almost all uses will be paired with immediately preceding vfs_get_tree(); add a helper for such combination. Switch vfs_kern_mount() to use this. NOTE: mild behaviour change; passing NULL as 'device name' to something like procfs will change /proc/*/mountstats - "device none" instead on "no device". That is consistent with /proc/mounts et.al. [do'h - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL slipped in by mistake; removed] [AV -- remove confused comment from vfs_create_mount()] [AV -- removed the second argument] Reviewed-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
