The `fs_lookup_param` did not consider the relative path for
block device. When we mount ext4 with `journal_path` option using
relative path, `param->dirfd` was not set which will cause mounting
error.

This can be reproduced easily like this:

mke2fs -F -O journal_dev $JOURNAL_DEV -b 4096 100M
mkfs.ext4 -F -J device=$JOURNAL_DEV -b 4096 $FS_DEV
cd /dev; mount -t ext4 -o journal_path=`basename $JOURNAL_DEV` $FS_DEV $MNT

Fixes: 461c3af045d3 ("ext4: Change handle_mount_opt() to use fs_parameter")

v2:
  - Change the journal_path parameter as string not bdev, and
    determine the relative path situation inside fs_lookup_param.
  - Add Suggested-by.

Will need to dig around for some context, but this bit definitely makes
no sense - dirfd is completely ignored for absolute pathnames, so making
that store conditional is pointless.

Only do it for relative path. As mentioned in [1], if the "journal_path" 
is treated as FSCONFIG_SET_PATH may be better, but mount(8) is passing a 
string (which uses FSCONFIG_SET_STRING for "journal_path"). For the 
relative path case, the dirfd should be assigned.

Why did you change this? As far as I can see the only effect would be that
empty path will not be allowed (which makes sense) but that seems like an
independent change which would deserve a comment in the changelog? Or am I
missing something?

What Al meant is that you can do simply:
		param->dirfd = AT_FDCWD;

and everything will work the same because 'dfd' is ignored for absolute
pathnames in path_init().

The fsparam_bdev serves no purpose here, you're right, empty path will 
not be allowed for `journal_path` option. And all changes are made to 
fix the issues (journal_path options changed) introduced by the previous 
new mount api conversion.

ok, seems reasonable.

I'll drop the ext4 bit as that can be done independently drop the
conditional.
