Well, I kept those checks just because fs/ code does the same.

E.g. fs/super.c

	reconfigure_super()
	{
		if (fc->ops->reconfigure)
			fc->ops->reconfigure(fc)
	}

	do_emergency_remount_callback()
	{
		fc = fs_context_for_reconfigure();
		reconfigure_super(fc);
	}

Oh... Indeed, somehow I forgot to put_fs_context().

OK.

OK, will cook a formal patch then. Thanks!
