Mount options that take the name of a device that may be part of a filesystem, for example "metadata_target", cannot be validated until after the filesystem has been opened. However, an attempt to parse those options may be made prior to the filesystem being opened. This change adds a printbuf parameter to bch2_parse_mount_opts() which will be used to save those mount options, when they are supplied prior to the FS being opened, so that they can be parsed later. This functionality is not currently needed, but will be used after bcachefs starts using the new mount API to parse mount options. This is because using the new mount API, we will process mount options prior to opening the FS, but the new API doesn't provide a convenient way to "replay" mount option parsing. So we save these options ourselves to accomplish this. This change also splits out the code to parse a single option into bch2_parse_one_mount_opt(), which will be useful when using the new mount API which deals with a single mount option at a time.

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 reStructuredText 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.
