    fuse: add dedicated filesystem context ops for submounts · fe0a7bd8
    Greg Kurz authored
    The creation of a submount is open-coded in fuse_dentry_automount().
    This brings a lot of complexity and we recently had to fix bugs
    because we weren't setting SB_BORN or because we were unlocking
    sb->s_umount before sb was fully configured. Most of these could
    have been avoided by using the mount API instead of open-coding.
    
    Basically, this means coming up with a proper ->get_tree()
    implementation for submounts and call vfs_get_tree(), or better
    fc_mount().
    
    The creation of the superblock for submounts is quite different from
    the root mount. Especially, it doesn't require to allocate a FUSE
    filesystem context, nor to parse parameters.
    
    Introduce a dedicated context ops for submounts to make this clear.
    This is just a placeholder for now, fuse_get_tree_submount() will
    be populated in a subsequent patch.
    
    Only visible change is that we stop allocating/freeing a useless FUSE
    filesystem context with submounts.
