Sure, I can send a patch for doing that instead.  However, my opinion is
that it makes more sense to do it, mostly because ceph_get_tree() is
already doing clean-up work on the error path (ceph_mdsc_close_sessions()
and deactivate_locked_super()).

But let me know if you really prefer doing in ceph_read_mount() and I'll
send v2.

Yes, agreed.
