[GIT PULL 18/19 for v7.4] vfs shared super

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This renames vfs_get_super() to get_tree_super() and exports it so a
filesystem that needs its own superblock matching policy can reuse it
instead of open-coding sget_fc() plus fill_super(). erofs uses it to
share a superblock between file-backed mounts. This is a branch shared
with the erofs tree so the change may also reach you through the erofs
pull request.

/* Testing */

No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
