fs: maintain a global device-to-superblock table
fs_holder_ops recovers the owning superblock from bdev->bd_holder, which forces the holder to be exactly one superblock and prevents several superblocks from sharing one block device. That's what erofs is doing. As a first step introduce a global dev_t-keyed rhltable mapping each device to the superblock(s) using it. The entry is preallocated in alloc_super() and registered under sb->s_dev by the set callback through set_anon_super() and set_bdev_super(), the two helpers every set callback assigns s_dev through. Registration is the final fallible act of a set callback, so an insert failure unwinds through sget_fc()'s existing set-failure path: the fs_context keeps ownership of s_fs_info and the callers' error paths stay correct. set_anon_super() releases the anonymous dev it allocated when registration fails. Unwinding through deactivate_locked_super() instead would run kill_sb() and free s_fs_info behind the caller's back: nfs and ceph free that object through a local pointer when sget_fc() fails and would double-free. The superblock stashes the entry in sb->s_super_dev and kill_super_notify() drops the claim through it, so teardown doesn't depend on s_dev staying stable; an entry that was never registered is freed together with the superblock in destroy_super_work(). Each table entry holds a passive reference (s_passive) on its superblock, so the struct stays valid for as long as the entry is reachable. Entries are claim-counted through sd_ref: additional claims on the same (device, superblock) pair share the entry, and the unlink is deferred to the last put, so a later iteration cursor never resumes from a removed node. The table is initialized from mnt_init(): the first superblocks (the tmpfs shm mount and rootfs) are created from start_kernel() long before any initcall runs, so an initcall would be too late. The table has no readers yet; the fs_holder_ops callbacks are switched over once all devices a filesystem claims are registered.
