The `fs_lookup_param` did not consider the relative path for
block device. When we mount ext4 with `journal_path` option using
relative path, `param->dirfd` was not set which will cause mounting
error.

This can be reproduced easily like this:

mke2fs -F -O journal_dev $JOURNAL_DEV -b 4096 100M
mkfs.ext4 -F -J device=$JOURNAL_DEV -b 4096 $FS_DEV
cd /dev; mount -t ext4 -o journal_path=`basename $JOURNAL_DEV` $FS_DEV $MNT

v2:
   - Change the journal_path parameter as string not bdev, and
     determine the relative path situation inside fs_lookup_param.
   - Add Suggested-by.

Why did you change this? As far as I can see the only effect would be that
empty path will not be allowed (which makes sense) but that seems like an
independent change which would deserve a comment in the changelog? Or am I
missing something?

The fsparam_bdev serves no purpose here, you're right, empty path will not be allowed for `journal_path` option. And all changes are made to fix the issues (journal_path options changed) introduced by the previous new mount api conversion.

What Al meant is that you can do simply:
		param->dirfd = AT_FDCWD;

and everything will work the same because 'dfd' is ignored for absolute
pathnames in path_init().

ok, seems reasonable.
