[PULL 08/11] virtiofsd: Announce submounts even without statx() |

Contrary to what the check (and warning) in lo_init() claims, we can
announce submounts just fine even without statx() -- the check is based
on comparing both the mount ID and st_dev of parent and child. Without
statx(), we will not have the mount ID; but we always have st_dev.
The only problems we have (without statx() and its mount ID) are:
(1) Mounting the same device twice may lead to both trees being treated
as exactly the same tree by virtiofsd. But that is a problem that
is completely independent of mirroring host submounts in the guest.
Both submount roots will still show the FUSE_SUBMOUNT flag, because
their st_dev still differs from their respective parent.
(2) There is only one exception to (1), and that is if you mount a
device inside a mount of itself: Then, its st_dev will be the same
as that of its parent, and so without a mount ID, virtiofsd will not
be able to recognize the nested mount's root as a submount.
However, thanks to virtiofsd then treating both trees as exactly the
same tree, it will be caught up in a loop when the guest tries to
examine the nested submount, so the guest will always see nothing
but an ELOOP there. Therefore, this case is just fully broken
without statx(), whether we check for submounts (based on st_dev) or
not.
All in all, checking for submounts works well even without comparing the
mount ID (i.e., without statx()). The only concern is an edge case
that, without statx() mount IDs, is utterly broken anyway.
Thus, drop said check in lo_init().
