Subject: [GIT PULL for v6.6] super fixes

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */
This contains two more small follow-up fixes for the super work this
cycle. I went through all filesystems once more and detected two minor
issues that still needed fixing:

* Some filesystems support mtd devices (e.g., mount -t jffs2 mtd2 /mnt).
  The mtd infrastructure uses the sb->s_mtd pointer to find an existing
  superblock. When the mtd device is put and sb->s_mtd cleared the
  superblock can still be found fs_supers and so this risks a
  use-after-free.

  Add a small patch that aligns mtd with what we did for regular block
  devices and switch keying to rely on sb->s_dev.

  (This was tested with mtd devices and jffs2 as xfstests doesn't
   support mtd devices.)

* Switch nfs back to rely on kill_anon_super() so the superblock is
  removed from the list of active supers before sb->s_fs_info is freed.

/* Testing */
clang: Ubuntu clang version 15.0.7
gcc: (Ubuntu 12.2.0-3ubuntu1) 12.2.0

All patches are based on v6.6-vfs.super and have been sitting in
linux-next. No build failures or warnings were observed. All old and new
tests in selftests, and LTP pass without regressions.

/* Conflicts */
At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were reported from
linux-next and no merge conflicts showed up doing a test-merge with
current mainline.
