[Virtio-fs] [PATCH] virtiofs: Export filesystem tags through sysfs

virtiofs filesystem is mounted using a "tag" which is exported by the
virtiofs device. virtiofs driver knows about all the available tags but
these are not exported to user space.

People have asked these tags to be exported to user space. Most recently
Lennart Poettering has asked for it as he wants to scan the tags and mount
virtiofs automatically in certain cases.

https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtiofsd/-/issues/128

This patch exports tags through sysfs. One tag is associated with each
virtiofs device. A new "tag" file appears under virtiofs device dir.
Actual filesystem tag can be obtained by reading this "tag" file.

For example, if a virtiofs device exports tag "myfs", a new file "tag"
will show up here.

/sys/bus/virtio/devices/virtio<N>/tag

# cat /sys/bus/virtio/devices/virtio<N>/tag
myfs
