This is repeated several times in the documentation, but the code says
that ->mc_size should be the full size of the struct wrapping struct
mount_context.

it's not much, but at least this could go into a patch of its own.

So ->mc_size can be 0 (i.e. not explicitly initialized) if fs_type does
not have ->fsopen. OK.

In which case we round up to sizeof(*mc). OK.

Maybe get_filesystem should also be taught to return its argument so
this could be written like the below assignments.

So this assumes that vfs_dup_mount_context is only used if ->mc_size is
explicitly initialized. A max_t here as well probably wouldn't hurt.

Any particular reason to use a short? The struct doesn't pack any better.

should probably be src->mnt_opts
