[patch 02/26] mount options: add generic_show_options()

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Add a new s_options field to struct super_block.  Filesystems can save
mount options passed to them in mount or remount.  It is automatically
freed when the superblock is destroyed.

A new helper function, generic_show_options() is introduced, which uses
this field to display the mount options in /proc/mounts.

Another helper function, save_mount_options() may be used by
filesystems to save the options in the super block.
