Ok, how about this, for even more explicit?

    ext4: Fix optional-arg mount options
    
    We have 2 mount options, "barrier" and "auto_da_alloc" which may or
    may not take a 1/0 argument.  This causes the ext4 superblock mount
    code to subtract uninitialized pointers and pass the result to
    kmalloc, which results in very noisy failures.
    
    Per Ted's suggestion, initialize the args struct so that
    we know whether match_token() found an argument for the
    option, and skip match_int() if not.
    
    Also, return error (0) from parse_options if we thought
    we found an argument, but match_int() Fails.
