Stefan Hajnoczi a8f62f50b4 virtiofs: export filesystem tags through sysfs
The virtiofs filesystem is mounted using a "tag" which is exported by
the virtiofs device:

  # mount -t virtiofs <tag> /mnt

The virtiofs driver knows about all the available tags but these are
currently not exported to user space.

People have asked for these tags to be exported to user space. Most
recently Lennart Poettering has asked for it as he wants to scan the
tags and mount virtiofs automatically in certain cases.

https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtiofsd/-/issues/128

This patch exports tags at /sys/fs/virtiofs/<N>/tag where N is the id of
the virtiofs device. The filesystem tag can be obtained by reading this
"tag" file.

There is also a symlink at /sys/fs/virtiofs/<N>/device that points to
the virtiofs device that exports this tag.

This patch converts the existing struct virtio_fs into a full kobject.
It already had a refcount so it's an easy change. The virtio_fs objects
can then be exposed in a kset at /sys/fs/virtiofs/. Note that virtio_fs
objects may live slightly longer than we wish for them to be exposed to
userspace, so kobject_del() is called explicitly when the underlying
virtio_device is removed. The virtio_fs object is freed when all
references are dropped (e.g. active mounts) but disappears as soon as
the virtiofs device is gone.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
