It would be odd for fs_context_for_reconfigure() to allow creation of a
context if that context couldn't perform a reconfigre, nevertheless that
seems to be the case.

Only thing that stands out is that we should put_fs_context() here as
well. I guess it's better than poking at the SB_INFO directly ourselves.

I think though we shouldn't bail if we can't change the thp setting, and
just accept whatever with a warning.

Looks like the API is already available in dinq, so we can apply this
ahead of the next merge window.
