fs: open block device after superblock creation

Currently get_tree_bdev and mount_bdev open the block device before
committing to allocating a super block. That creates problems for
restricting the number of writers to a device, and also leads to a
unusual and not very helpful holder (the fs_type).

Reorganize the super block code to first look whether the superblock for
a particular device does already exist and open the block device only if
it doesn't.

romfs: use different way to generate fsid for BLOCK or MTD

romfs: use different way to generate fsid for BLOCK or MTD

Commit 8a59f5d25265 ("fs/romfs: return f_fsid for statfs(2)") generates
a 64bit id from sb->s_bdev->bd_dev. This is only correct when romfs is
defined with CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK. If romfs is only defined with
CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD, sb->s_bdev is NULL, referencing sb->s_bdev->bd_dev
will triger an oops.

Richard Weinberger points out that when CONFIG_ROMFS_BACKED_BY_BOTH=y,
both CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK and CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD are defined.
Therefore when calling huge_encode_dev() to generate a 64bit id, I use
the follow order to choose parameter,

- CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK defined
use sb->s_bdev->bd_dev
- CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK undefined and CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD defined
use sb->s_dev when,
- both CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK and CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD undefined
leave id as 0

When CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD is defined and sb->s_mtd is not NULL, sb->s_dev
is set to a device ID generated by MTD_BLOCK_MAJOR and mtd index,
otherwise sb->s_dev is 0.

This is a try-best effort to generate a uniq file system ID, if all the
above conditions are not meet, f_fsid of this romfs instance will be 0.
Generally only one romfs can be built on single MTD block device, this
method is enough to identify multiple romfs instances in a computer.

- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct

- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.
