But the error message out of get_tree_bdev() is inflexible and
IMHO it's too coupled to `fc->source`.

Otherwise just passing a quiet flag of some form feels like a much
saner interface.

I'm fine with this way, but that will be a treewide change, I
will send out a version with a flag later.

I'd probably just add a get_tree_bdev_flags and pass 0 flags from
get_tree_bdev.

how about
int get_tree_bdev_flags(struct fs_context *fc,
int (*fill_super)(struct super_block *,
struct fs_context *), bool quiet)

for now? it can be turned into `int flags` if other needs
are shown later (and I don't need to define an enum.)

Does it look good to you? if okay, I will follow this way.

Thanks,
