    vfs: Convert qib_fs/ipathfs to use the new mount API · 7515c22c

    Convert the qib_fs/ipathfs filesystem to the new internal mount API as the
    old one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
    communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
    filesystem.
    
    See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.
    
    [Q] Can qib_remove() race with qibfs_kill_super()?  Should qib_super
        accesses be serialised with some sort of lock?
    [A] yes, it can and no, that's not the right solution.  See vfs.git #qibfs
        for an old attempt to handle that cleanly.  Infiniband folks were not
        interested...
