fix the deadlock in qib_fs
get_sb_single() calls fill_super with superblock locked; calling deactivate_super() will deadlock immedately. Moreover, if fill_super callback returns an error, get_sb_single() will release the reference to superblock itself just fine. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
