    NFS: Ensure the fs_context has the correct fs_type before mounting · 1cef2184

    This is necessary because unless userspace explicitly requests fstype
    "nfs4" (either via "mount -t nfs4" or by calling the "mount.nfs4" helper
    directly), the fstype will default to "nfs".
    
    This was fine on older kernels because the super_block->s_type was set
    via mount_info->nfs_mod->nfs_fs, which was set when parsing the mount
    options and subsequently passed in the "type" argument of sget().
    
    After commit f2aedb71 ("NFS: Add fs_context support."), sget_fc(),
    which has no "type" argument, is called instead.  In sget_fc(), the
    super_block->s_type is set via fs_context->fs_type, which was set when
    the filesystem context was initially created.
