Pointless (as the original had been); destroy_unused_super() doesn't
even look at ->s_fs_info.

Here we are transferring the ownership from fc to superblock; it used to sit
right next to insertion into lists and all failure exits past that point must
go through deactivate_locked_super(), so ->kill_sb() would be called on those
and it would take care of s->s_fs_info.  However, your variant has that
ownership transfer done at the point before get_anon_bdev(), and that got
you a new failure exit where you are still calling destroy_unused_super():

This.  And that's a leak - fc has no reference left in it, and your
unlock_and_destroy won't even look at what's in ->s_fs_info, let alone know
what to do with it.

IOW, clearing fc->s_fs_info should've been done after that chunk.

And looking at the change in sget(),

I'd rather expressed it (both there and in sget_fc() as well) as
	if (set)
		err = set(s, data);
	if (!err && !s->s_dev)
		err = get_anon_bdev(&s->s_dev);
	if (err)
		goto unlock_and_destroy;

That's really what your transformation does - you are lifting the
calls of get_anon_bdev() (in guise of set_anon_super()) from the
tails of 'set' callbacks into the caller, making them conditional
upon the lack of other errors from 'set' and upon the ->s_dev left
zero and allow NULL for the case when that was all that had been
there.

The only place where you do something different is this:

fsc->sb = NULL has disappeared here; it *is* OK (the caller won't look at
fsc->sb after failed sget_fc()), but that's worth a mention somewhere.
A separate commit removing that clearing fsc->sb in ceph_set_super(),
perhaps?
