    devtmpfs regression fix: reconfigure on each mount

    commit a6097180d884ddab769fb25588ea8598589c218c upstream.

    Prior to Linux v5.4 devtmpfs used mount_single() which treats the given
    mount options as "remount" options, so it updates the configuration of
    the single super_block on each mount.

    Since that was changed, the mount options used for devtmpfs are ignored.
    This is a regression which affect systemd - which mounts devtmpfs with
    "-o mode=755,size=4m,nr_inodes=1m".

    This patch restores the "remount" effect by calling reconfigure_single()

    Fixes: d401727ea0d7 ("devtmpfs: don't mix
{ramfs,shmem}_fill_super() with mount_single()")
