+ *
+ *   2. Mount device's root (/) by calling vfs_kern_mount().
+ *
+ *      NOTE: vfs_kern_mount() is used by VFS to call btrfs_mount() in the
+ *      first place. In order to avoid calling btrfs_mount() again, we use
+ *      different file_system_type which is not registered to VFS by
+ *      register_filesystem(). As a result, mount_root() is called.
+ *      The return value will be used by mount_subtree() in mount_subvol().
+ *
+ *   3. Call mount_subvol() to get the dentry of subvolume. Since there is
+ *      "btrfs subvolume set-default", mount_subvol() is called always.
