Can you please split this patches? It's doing several things, but the
core change will probably be a big one. The mount path is not trivial,
all the recursions and argument replacements.

Otherwise, I'm ok with this approach, ie. to set up the dentry at mount
time.

A few comments below.

Fix the coding style.

Put the comment on a separate line.

We should define the precedence of subvolid and subvol if both are set.
A warning might not be enough.
