The following is a reproducer I extracted from syzkaller log. The
fail_nth needs revision according to your own environment.

syz_mount_image$adfs(0x0, &(0x7f0000000180)='./file0\x00', 0x0, 0x0,
0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
syz_mount_image$afs(0x0, &(0x7f0000000040)='./file0/file0\x00', 0x0,
0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
mount(&(0x7f0000000100)=@nbd={'/dev/nbd', 0x0},
&(0x7f0000000140)='./file0/file0\x00', &(0x7f0000000280)='binder\x00',
0x0, 0x0) (fail_nth: 40)
