Merge patch series "Add the ability to query mount options in statmount"
Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> says: Currently if you want to get mount options for a mount and you're using statmount(), you still have to open /proc/mounts to parse the mount options. statmount() does have the ability to store an arbitrary string however, additionally the way we do that is with a seq_file, which is also how we use ->show_options for the individual file systems. Extent statmount() to have a flag for fetching the mount options of a mount. This allows users to not have to parse /proc mount for anything related to a mount. I've extended the existing statmount() test to validate this feature works as expected. As you can tell from the ridiculous amount of silly string parsing, this is a huge win for users and climate change as we will no longer have to waste several cycles parsing strings anymore.
