[v2] vfs: Make vfs_get_super() internal
Commit Message
For now there are no external callers of vfs_get_super(),
so just make it an internal API.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/TYCP286MB2323D37F4F6400FD07D7C7F7CA319@TYCP286MB2323.JPNP286.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM/
v2: move vfs_get_super_keying to super.c, as the suggestion
from Christian Brauner.

I would rather kill the "keying" thing completely.
Seriously, what does it buy us? Consider e.g.
return vfs_get_super(fc, vfs_get_independent_super, fill_super);
in get_tree_nodev(). If you expand vfs_get_super() there, you'll get
this:
{
struct super_block *sb = sget_fc(fc, NULL, set_anon_super_fc);
if (IS_ERR(sb))
return PTR_ERR(sb);
if (!sb->s_root) {
int err = fill_super(sb, fc);
if (unlikely(err)) {
deactivate_locked_super(sb);
return err;
}
sb->s_flags |= SB_ACTIVE;
}
fc->root = dget(sb->s_root);
return 0;
}
Sure, it's several lines long, but it's much easier to follow than
vfs_get_super(). And duplication between these vfs_get_super()
callers is, IMO, not worth eliminating...

And I replied with a patch doing just that to his v1. Guess it's time
to resend it formally.
