This seems to accept basically any mount.  Specifically: are you sure it's
OK to return a handle to a SB_NO_USER superblock?
Umm...  As long as we don't try to do pathname resolution from its ->s_root,
shouldn't be a problem and I don't see anything that would do that.  I might've
missed something, but...

Sorry, I guess SB_NOUSER was the wrong word.  I was trying find if anything stopped things like

int memfd = memfd_create("foo", 0);
int fsfd = fspick(memfd, "", FSPICK_EMPTY_PATH);

fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "ro", NULL, 0);
fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "size", "100M", 0);
fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE, NULL, NULL, 0);

So far I'm getting -EBUSY if I try to apply the "ro", -EINVAL if I try to apply the "size=100M".  But if I don't apply either, then FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE succeeds.

It seems worrying that it might let me set options on shm_mnt. Or at least letting me get as far as the -EBUSY check for the "ro" superblock flag.

I'm not sure why I'm getting the -EINVAL setting the "size" option.  But it would be much more reassuring if I was getting -EPERM :-).
