This is completely wrong. Look:
* SB_KERNMOUNT and !SB_KERNMOUNT cases are almost entirely isolated;
completely so once that ns_to_mnt becomes unconditionally non-NULL.
* in !SB_KERNMOUNT passing ns_to_mnt() is pointless - you might as
well pass existing vfsmount (or ERR_PTR()) and use _that_. fill_super()
is not used at all in that case.
* is SB_KERNMOUNT ns_to_mnt serves only as a flag, eventually
constant true.

So let's split it in two helpers and give them sane arguments.
