You don't. d_path on sb->s_root at ext2_setup_super gives you always /.
You need either to wait till d_mount is done (and thus need to add
note_last_mounted) or pass the directory name to read_super.
I don't know which solution is better, I'd prefer note_last_mounted, but
would like to know which way to go.

Cheers,
Jakub
