    vfs: syscall: Add fspick() to select a superblock for reconfiguration · 6737d7af

    Provide an fspick() system call that can be used to pick an existing
    mountpoint into an fs_context which can thereafter be used to reconfigure a
    superblock (equivalent of the superblock side of -o remount).
    
    This looks like:
    
    	int fd = fspick(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt",
    			FSPICK_CLOEXEC | FSPICK_NO_AUTOMOUNT);
    	fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "intr", NULL, 0);
    	fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "noac", NULL, 0);
    	fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE, NULL, NULL, 0);
    
    At the point of fspick being called, the file descriptor referring to the
    filesystem context is in exactly the same state as the one that was created
    by fsopen() after fsmount() has been successfully called.
