 locking rules:

 get_sb		yes		yes

-->get_sb() returns error or a locked superblock (exclusive on ->s_umount).
+->get_sb() returns error or 0 with locked superblock attached to the vfsmount
+(exclusive on ->s_umount).
 ->kill_sb() takes a write-locked superblock, does all shutdown work on it,
 unlocks and drops the reference.
