I guess I was pretty lucky to have leading zeroes in that fc.

David, do you want to add a macro which would make `struct fs_context fc'
misuse less possible? There are 3 users right now who don't use
vfs_new_fs_context(), and none of them appear to properly set all of
`struct fs_context fc' members. This can cause problems in the future,
right?

fs/namespace.c: struct fs_context fc = {
fs/super.c:                     struct fs_context fc = {
fs/super.c:     struct fs_context fc = {
