Squashfs mount failures reported through fs_context do not identify the

Repeated automount failures used to be ambiguous, for example:
Filesystem uses "xz" compression. This is not supported

All of the affected errors occur after get_tree_bdev() has opened the
block device and setup_bdev_super() has assigned sb->s_bdev.
Use it to identify the failing Squashfs image even when the mount is
retried. For example, the error above now reads:
Filesystem on loop0 uses "xz" compression. This is not supported

Sorry for the delay, I'm currently snowed under with AI reported issues.

Looks good.
