We don't set the SB_BORN flag on submounts superblocks. This is wrong
as these superblocks are then considered as partially constructed or
dying in the rest of the code and can break some assumptions.
One such case is when you have a virtiofs filesystem and you try to
mount it again : virtio_fs_get_tree() tries to obtain a superblock
with sget_fc(). The matching criteria in virtio_fs_test_super() is
the pointer of the underlying virtiofs device, which is shared by
the root mount and its submounts. This means that any submount can
be picked up instead of the root mount. This is itself a bug :
submounts should be ignored in this case. But, most importantly, it
then triggers an infinite loop in sget_fc() because it fails to grab
the superblock (very easy to reproduce).
The only viable solution is to set SB_BORN at some point. This
must be done with vfs_get_tree() because setting SB_BORN requires
special care, i.e. a memory barrier for super_cache_count() which
can check SB_BORN without taking any lock.
This requires to split out some code from fuse_dentry_automount() to
a new dedicated fuse_get_tree_submount().
The fs_private field of the filesystem context isn't used with
submounts : hijack it to pass the FUSE inode of the mount point
down to fuse_get_tree_submount().
Finally, adapt virtiofs to use this.
