There are sysfs interfaces in some fs, only btrfs yet, which will modify
on-disk data.
Unlike normal file operation routine we can use mnt_want_write_file() to
protect the operation, change through sysfs won't to be binded to any file
in the filesystem.
So we can only extract the first vfsmount of a superblock and pass it to
mnt_want_write() to do the protection.
