bcachefs: grab sumount only if snapshotting

When I was testing mongodb over bcachefs with compression, there is a lockdep warning when snapshotting mongodb data volume.

$ cat test.sh prog=bcachefs

$prog subvolume create /mnt/data $prog subvolume create /mnt/data/snapshots

while true;do $prog subvolume snapshot /mnt/data /mnt/data/snapshots/$(date +%s) sleep 1s done

$ cat /etc/mongodb.conf systemLog: destination: file logAppend: true path: /mnt/data/mongod.log

storage: dbPath: /mnt/data/
