If fuse_fill_super_submount() returns an error, the error path

The crash happens because fuse_mount_remove() assumes that the FUSE
mount was already added to list under the FUSE connection, but this
only done after fuse_fill_super_submount() has returned success.

This means that until fuse_fill_super_submount() has returned success,
the FUSE mount isn't actually owned by the superblock. We should thus
reclaim ownership by clearing sb->s_fs_info, which will skip the call
to fuse_mount_remove(), and perform rollback, like virtio_fs_get_tree()
already does for the root sb.
