Can you give a usecase for this?
Wouldn't it be more helpful if fsinfo() when used to query a filesystem
without a created or attached superblock could be used to query options
the underlying fs supports so that users know what they can fsconfig()?
(Maybe that's not possible because you'd already need to have a
superblock created or attached in this case.)

nit: *s can probably be moved inside the first if() and *e into the second
if().

Here you're fixing the error I pointed out in the other patch (I believe
[03/<max>].). Probably best to fix it in the original patch. ;)
