Subject: Regression in next with filesystem context concept

Hi,

Looks like next-20180906 now has a regression where mounting
root won't work with commit fd0002870b45 ("vfs: Implement a
filesystem superblock creation/configuration context").

Here's what happens for me on MMC for example:

Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2...
mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch, assuming write-enable
mmc1: new SDIO card at address 0001
mmc0: new high speed SDXC card at address e624
mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SU64G 59.5 GiB
 mmcblk0: p1 p2 p3
VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown-block(179,2): error -2
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
...
  b302        60298240 mmcblk0p2 000b9930-02
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)

And NFSroot fails with:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = (ptrval)
