[PATCH v2] vfs: Pre-allocate superblock in sget_fc() if !test

From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Jan 24 2022 - 11:10:38 EST


When the test function is not defined in sget_fc(), we always need
to allocate a new superblock. So there is no point in acquiring the
sb_lock twice in this case. Optimize the !test case by pre-allocating
the superblock first before acquring the lock.
