As saying in the answer I've just posted, a failure in
fuse_fill_super_submount() causes an actual crash because
fuse_mount_remove() logically assumes fm to already be in
fc->mounts, which isn't the case at this point.

In the root mount case, this is handled by taking back
the ownership on fm, i.e. do the rollback *and* clear
sb->s_fs_info. It seems that the same should be done
for submounts.
