Name a filesystem by its kernel id, never its device name (hq ADR 0325 fourth review)

An ext4 or xfs library mounted by UUID can come back from a reboot as another device
(/dev/sdb1 as /dev/sdc1); naming the filesystem by mountinfo's source read that as a
move, stripped the warranted library's entries and asked for a new Approve. A
filesystem is now named by statfs's f_fsid (from the UUID, or the ZFS dataset), its
type and its mount point. Entries left on the filesystem a folder is on now are
merged back or held, never walked away, and a TakenOn naming a mount point is not
taken.
