Arrgh...  That used to be fine.  Now we have this:
static int rbd_parse_param(struct fs_parameter *param,
                            struct rbd_parse_opts_ctx *pctx)
{
        struct rbd_options *opt = pctx->opts;
        struct fs_parse_result result; 
        int token, ret;

        ret = ceph_parse_param(param, pctx->copts, NULL);
        if (ret != -ENOPARAM)
                return ret;

        token = fs_parse(NULL, rbd_parameters, param, &result);
			 ^^^^

	Cthulhu damn it...  And yes, that crap used to work.
Frankly, I'm tempted to allocate fs_context in there (in
rbd_parse_options(), or in rbd_add_parse_args()) - we've other
oddities due to that...

	Alternatively, we could provide __fs_parse() that
would take name as a separate argument and accepted NULL fc,
with fs_parse() being a wrapper for that.

*grumble*
