When both CONFIG_CRAMFS_MTD and CONFIG_CRAMFS_BLOCKDEV are enabled, if
we fail to mount on MTD, we don't try on block device.

Fixes: 74f78fc5ef43 ("vfs: Convert cramfs to use the new mount API")

FWIW, the thing that worries me here is the possibility of
side effects on fs_context in case if fill_super fails really
late...  OTOH, cramfs one seems to be safe in that respect.

OK, will apply, but that's fairly brittle and needs to be
documented.  If we *ever* grow non-trivial options parsing
there, that'll be a serious landmine.  If something gets
transferred from fs_context into a superblock, which
fails later in setup and takes that object with it, the
second part (get_tree_bdev()) would be in trouble.
