Will need to dig around for some context, but this bit definitely makes
no sense - dirfd is completely ignored for absolute pathnames, so making
that store conditional is pointless.


Only do it for relative path. As mentioned in [1], if the "journal_path" is treated as FSCONFIG_SET_PATH may be better, but mount(8) is passing a string (which uses FSCONFIG_SET_STRING for "journal_path"). For the relative path case, the dirfd should be assigned.
