Yep, messing with the bdi doesn't look good. Fuse always uses a
private bdi, so it's not even necessary.

Just removing from type->fs_supers should not have any side effects,
at least I can't spot any.

Fixing fuse_test_super() is not sufficient, as the fuseblk type goes
though get_tree_bdev(). That could be tweaked as well, but it would
end up with more complexity.

Thanks,
Miklos
