The existing ctx->vfsroot is dangerous.  We take it from
the root task via: ctx->root_task->fs->root and don't take
a ref on the 'fs' in there.  We also take a ref on the
fs.root which is worthless.

So, replace ctx->vfsroot with a reference to the 'fs'
instead.  This gives us easy access to fs.root later on,
and also lets us do proper refcounting.

This, of course, eventually needs to be done per-process
but this should at least remove a potential oops.
