Hello, Li.
I applied the three patches with some updates (mostly comments).
Dynamic root management is turning out to be pretty ugly but I think
we can clean it up a bit.

So, @new_sb and @sb indicate the same conditions now. When we reuse
an existing root, we always reuse its sb too which means that we at
least no longer need the @new_sb ugliness. I actually kinda prefer it
as this means that the ugliness is confined to one ugly function -
kernfs_pin_sb() - instead of the generic kernfs_mount(). Can you
please prepare patches to clean these up? I'll pull in for-3.16-fixes
into for-3.17 and apply the cleanup on top.
Thanks!
