[PATCH 3/6] mount: fix regression in setting "subtype" from legacy API

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Thu Sep 20 2018 - 11:12:46 EST


Subtype was initilized at the wrong place from the wrong source
(fstype->fs_type->name, which does not ever contain a subtype).

Set subtype from do_new_mount(), where it actually does something.
Verified with fuse.
