Subject: [PATCH 07/12] fs: stop using get_super in fs_mark_dead

fs_mark_dead currently uses get_super to find the superblock for the
block device that is going away.  This means it is limited to the
main device stored in sb->s_dev, leading to a lot of code duplication
for file systems that can use multiple block devices.

Now that the holder for all block devices used by file systems is set
to the super_block, we can instead look at that holder and then check
if the file system is born and active, so do that instead.
