From: Daniil Lunev <dlunev@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
The function is to be called from filesystem-specific code to mark a
superblock to be ignored by superblock test and thus never re-used. The
function also unregisters bdi if the bdi is per-superblock to avoid
collision if a new superblock is created to represent the filesystem.
generic_shutdown_super() skips unregistering bdi for a retired
superlock as it assumes retire function has already done it.

Changes in v4:
- Simplify condition according to Christoph Hellwig's comments.
Changes in v3:
- Back to state tracking from v1
- Use s_iflag to mark superblocked ignored
- Only unregister private bdi in retire, without freeing
Changes in v2:
- Remove super from list of superblocks instead of using a flag
