Not fond of the calling conventions, to be honest...  "On success return 0;
on failure return -E... *and* drop an active reference passed by the caller"?

If you go that way, at least take the deactivate_locked_super() into the
caller and I would argue that ->s_umount handling also belongs in the caller,
both grabbing and dropping it.
