[PATCH] vfs: set s_type in alloc_super()

[Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>]

I see no reason to wait until after the "set" operation returns to set
the s_type. We do call destroy_super() in some cases with that value
unset. That seems to be OK in almost all cases, but we had a fire-drill
recently with some RHEL-only patches that oopsed because the s_type was
unset when destroy_super() got called.

Move the setting of the s_type into alloc_super() as a defensive coding
measure.
