Explain what problem you're trying to solve.  Your example:
/system/bin is a directory its mount partition is /system.
isn't very clear on what you mean.  Do you mean "I did a
mount /dev/foox4 /mnt/wombats and now I want to find /dev/foox4",
or did you mean "given a pathname or inode, what filesystem is
it on?"

(Bonus points for explaining what your solution should do with bind mounts
and overlayfs and other exotic stuff like that)
