According to previous commit(e830b39: Smack: Add smkfstransmute mount option),
the smackfstransmute option is the smackfsroot option + transmute option.
I think it can be confused because the transmute option can only have "TRUE".
Before the patch, you cannot use the smackfsroot and the smackfstransmute at
the same time. If you use the options simultaenously, the previous option will
be omitted. In the below example, the smackfsroot option will be omitted.
mount -t tmpfs -o size=128M,smackfsroot=*,smackfstransmute=_ tmpfs /tmp
After the patch, now you can use the smackfstransmute option like below:
mount -t tmpfs -o size=128M,smackfsroot=*,smackfstransmute=TRUE tmpfs /tmp

The smackfsroot option behaves as intended.
The smackfstransmute option behaves as intended.
There is no case where you want to mark the root inode
transmuting where you do not also want to set the
Smack label of that inode. Making the smackfstransmute
option require the smackfsroot option as well would be
unnecessary and inconvenient.

If the smackfstransmute option was like that, we should prevent the two
options at the same time to avoid confusing.
At least, I think we need to provide a documentation for that.
