v2:

- add an extra fix (patch 2) : mount is now added to the list before
unlocking sb->s_umount
- set SB_BORN just before unlocking sb->s_umount, just like it would
happen when using fc_mount() (Max)
- don't allocate a FUSE context for the submounts (Max)
- introduce a dedicated context ops for submounts
- add a extra cleanup : simplify the code even more with fc_mount()

v1:

While working on adding syncfs() support in FUSE, I've hit some severe
bugs with submounts (a crash and an infinite loop). The fix for the
crash is straightforward (patch 1), but the fix for the infinite loop
is more invasive : as suggested by Miklos, a simple bug fix is applied
first (patch 2) and the final fix (patch 3) is applied on top.

Thanks a lot for these patches. I’ve had a style nit on patch 6, but other than that, looks nice to me.
