Sorry, I guess SB_NOUSER was the wrong word.  I was trying find if
anything stopped things like

int memfd = memfd_create("foo", 0);
int fsfd = fspick(memfd, "", FSPICK_EMPTY_PATH);

fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "ro", NULL, 0);
fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "size", "100M", 0);
fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE, NULL, NULL, 0);

So far I'm getting -EBUSY if I try to apply the "ro", -EINVAL if I try
to apply the "size=100M".  But if I don't apply either, then
FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE succeeds.

It seems worrying that it might let me set options on shm_mnt. Or at
least letting me get as far as the -EBUSY check for the "ro" superblock
flag.

I'm not sure why I'm getting the -EINVAL setting the "size" option.  But
it would be much more reassuring if I was getting -EPERM :-).
