Subject: [PATCH - regression] devtmpfs: reconfigure on each mount


Prior to Linux v5.4 devtmpfs used mount_single() which treats the given
mount options as "remount" options, updating the configuration of the
single super_block on each mount.
Since that was changed, the mount options used for devtmpfs are ignored.
This is a regression which affects systemd - which mounts devtmpfs
with "-o mode=755,size=4m,nr_inodes=1m".

This patch restores the "remount" effect by calling reconfigure_single()

Fixes: d401727ea0d7 ("devtmpfs: don't mix {ramfs,shmem}_fill_super() with mount_single()")
