Nit: Drop the braces and do:
	if (statfs(...) == -1)
		return error_errno(...)

So, before we'd compare against the name, but to avoid the GPLv3 copy/pasting we're now comparing against the fs.f_type.

If we are hardcoding them, our usual convention is to lower-case hexdigits, so 0xbacbacbc not 0xBACBACBC.

But at least my statfs() manpage documents the named defines in linux/magic.h for most of these. Why not use those?

Let's make "plen", "dlen" and "flen" a "size_t", not "int"

Shouldn't we check the endmntent() error too? Now, from the manpage the interface is funny, and always returns 1.

But since this is linux-specific code it seems safe enough to go with it & glibc assumptions and:

	errno = 0;
        endmntent(fp);
        if (errno)
        	return error_errno(....);
I.e. it'll just call fclose(), which might set errno() on failure.
Maybe it's not worth it...

Here you do use that "return error_errno(...)" pattern...", yay!

If you're going to \n\n-seperate this and the trace_printf_key() above I think moving the second free() here to that "block" would make sense, sinec here is the last time we use mnt_dir, but the last time we used mnt_type was in the trace_printf_key().

But...

...aren't you NULL init-ing these, why not just for all of these:
	goto error;

Have this be:
	int ret = -1; /* earlier */
	ret = 0;
cleanup:
	free(...);
	free(...);
	return ret;

This will segfault if you take the part through fsmonitor__get_fs_info() where we don't have the fs.typename yet, i.e. if statfs() fails.

There's the trivial NULL-init way to work around it, but I think this suggests a leaky abstraction. If we fail to get the fs info, then the function itself should have free'd that, shouldn't it?
