Subject: [PATCH v2 09/11] mount_setattr.2: mirror opening sentence from
 fsopen(2)

All of the other new mount API docs have this lead-in sentence in order
to make this set of APIs feel a little bit more cohesive.  Despite being
a bit of a latecomer, mount_setattr(2) is definitely part of this family
of APIs and so deserves the same treatment.
