Did you forget to call simple_pin_fs() here or anywhere else?
And this can be just one function with the directory creation file, just
check the mode and you will be fine. Look at securityfs as an example
of how to make this simpler.

super.c and inode.c can be in the same file, these are tiny, just make
one file for the filesystem logic.
