hostfs: Fix only passing host root in boot stage with new mount
In the old mount proceedure, hostfs could only pass root directory during
boot. This is because it constructed the root directory using the @root_ino
event without any mount options. However, when using it with the new mount
API, this step is no longer triggered. As a result, if users mounts without
specifying any mount options, the @host_root_path remains uninitialized. To
prevent this issue, the @host_root_path should be initialized at the time
of allocation.

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
