Merge patch series "Add the ability to query mount options in statmount"

Browse source 
Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> says:

Currently if you want to get mount options for a mount and you're using
statmount(), you still have to open /proc/mounts to parse the mount options.
statmount() does have the ability to store an arbitrary string however,
additionally the way we do that is with a seq_file, which is also how we use
->show_options for the individual file systems.

Extent statmount() to have a flag for fetching the mount options of a mount.
This allows users to not have to parse /proc mount for anything related to a
mount.  I've extended the existing statmount() test to validate this feature
works as expected.  As you can tell from the ridiculous amount of silly string
parsing, this is a huge win for users and climate change as we will no longer
have to waste several cycles parsing strings anymore.

Josef Bacik (4):
  fs: rename show_mnt_opts -> show_vfsmnt_opts
  fs: add a helper to show all the options for a mount
  fs: export mount options via statmount()
  sefltests: extend the statmount test for mount options
