Looks good to me,
Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@...nel.org>

For filesystems on the new mount api it's always nice if the rules
can simply be made:

* prior to sget_fc() succeeding fc->s_fs_info and freed in fs_context_operations->free()
* after    sget_fc() succeeding fc->s_fs_info transfered to sb->s_fs_info and freed in fs_type->kill_sb()
