[PATCH 0/4] Add the ability to query mount options in statmount

[Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>]

Hello,

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.

This is based on my branch that extends listmount/statmount to walk into foreign
namespaces.  Below are links to that posting, that branch, and this branch to
make it easier to review.
