One general note - I'd probably put a pointer to that sucker into struct
mount.  For one thing, root-preserving clone_mnt() is a fairly common

Another thing is that IMO it's better to preallocate that thing in
vfs_kern_mount() and free if it turns out to be unused.  Simpler cleanup
path that way...

	Unless I'm misreading your code, mnt_set_root() does *not* set it
on failure, so what's going on here?
