[RFC 1/2] FS: mount_bdev from vfs instead of filesystem specific mount function.

[Fabian Frederick]

Currently, a lot of filesystem mounting functions feature in
file_system_type only to be called from vfs mount_fs and call mount_bdev.

This patch adds fill_super function to that structure and lets vfs
call mount_bdev when no mount function is declared.
