/proc/$PID/mountinfo contains a field for the device number of the
filesystem at each mount.
This is taken from the superblock ->s_dev field, which is correct for
every filesystem except btrfs. A btrfs filesystem can contain multiple
subvols which each have a different device number. If (a directory
within) one of these subvols is mounted, the device number reported in
mountinfo will be different from the device number reported by stat().
This confuses some libraries and tools such as, historically, findmnt.
Current findmnt seems to cope with the strangeness.
So instead of using ->s_dev, call vfs_getattr_nosec() and use the ->dev
provided. As there is no STATX flag to ask for the device number, we
pass a request mask for zero, and also ask the filesystem to avoid
syncing with any remote service.
