Again, patch is good but missing an explanation.  get_fs_type grabs a
reference to the file_system_type which needs to be dropped using
put_filesystem which is not exported, so it can't be used from modules
without introducing a bug.  Nor should it because it's an operation
that's only useful during mount VFS-level code.  The only really valid
user is fs/super.c
