Subject: [PATCH 05/32] vfs: Introduce the basic header for the new mount
 API's filesystem context [ver #9]

Introduce a filesystem context concept to be used during superblock
creation for mount and superblock reconfiguration for remount.  This is
allocated at the beginning of the mount procedure and into it is placed:

 (1) Filesystem type.

 (2) Namespaces.

 (3) Source/Device names (there may be multiple).

 (4) Superblock flags (SB_*).

 (5) Security details.

 (6) Filesystem-specific data, as set by the mount options.
