Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/8] vfs: Add a single-or-reconfig keying to
 vfs_get_super()

Add an additional keying mode to vfs_get_super() to indicate that only a
single superblock should exist in the system, and that, if it does, further
mounts should invoke reconfiguration upon it.

This allows mount_single() to be replaced.
