Please put this in <linux/magic.h>

As you need the struct twice, use a local variable.

Please do the call within the loop body and use an explicit bereak.

Redundant assignment, no?

We don't use void casts to suppress return value in Linux. You can
just drop it (elsewhere too).

Hmm?

kern_mount can fail so you'd better do IS_ERR/PTR_ERR here.

The typedef seems useless and confusing at best. Can we drop it?
