When reviewing this series, Miklos noted today that this warning is
wrong (we can still announce submounts even without statx()), and we
concluded that we should probably drop it and the
“lo->announce_submounts = false” assignment (i.e. this whole block).
I don’t think that needs to stop this pull request, though, we can
easily fix it on top.
