Mah, so there's a difference between the new and the old mount api that we
should probably hide on the VFS level for fsparam_fd. Basically, if you're
coming through the new mount api via fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_FD, fd) then the vfs
will have done param->file = fget(fd) for you already so there's no need to
call fget() again. We can just take ownership of the reference that the vfs
took for us.

But if we're coming in through the old mount api then we need to call fget.
There's nothing wrong with your code but it doesn't take advantage of the new
mount api which would be unfortunate. So I folded a small extension into this
see [1].

There's an unrelated bug in fs_param_is_fd() that I'm also fixing see [2].

I've tested both changes with the old and new mount api.
