Huh.  Wow.  I would have expected to find /anything/ in fstests that
exercises the new mount api, but:

lax:~/cdev/work/fstests(0)> git grep -E '(fsconfig|fspick|fsopen)'
lax:~/cdev/work/fstests(1)>

What other weird things are lurking here?

Anyhow, I guess that's a side effect of xfs_mount mirroring some of the
vfs state flags, so....
