Hmmm... afs parses the string in afs_parse_source() without modifying it,
then moves the pointer to fc->source (parallelling vfs_parse_fs_param()) and
doesn't touch it again. fc->source should be cleaned up by do_new_mount()
calling put_fs_context() at the end of the function.

As far as I can tell with the attached print-insertion patch, it works, called
by the following commands, some of which are correct and some which aren't:

# mount -t afs none /xfstest.test/ -o dyn
# umount /xfstest.test
# mount -t afs "" /xfstest.test/ -o foo
mount: /xfstest.test: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program.
# umount /xfstest.test
umount: /xfstest.test: not mounted.
# mount -t afs %xfstest.test20 /xfstest.test/ -o foo
mount: /xfstest.test: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program.
# umount /xfstest.test
umount: /xfstest.test: not mounted.
# mount -t afs %xfstest.test20 /xfstest.test/
# umount /xfstest.test

Do you know if the mount was successful and what the mount parameters were?
