Subject: [PATCH] ext4: handle option set by mount flags correctly

Currently there is a problem with mount options that can be both set by
vfs using mount flags or by a string parsing in ext4.

i_version/iversion options gets lost after remount, for example

$ mount -o i_version /dev/pmem0 /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep i_version
310 95 259:0 / /mnt rw,relatime shared:163 - ext4 /dev/pmem0 rw,seclabel,i_version
$ mount -o remount,ro /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep i_version

nolazytime gets ignored by ext4 on remount, for example

$ mount -o lazytime /dev/pmem0 /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep lazytime
310 95 259:0 / /mnt rw,relatime shared:163 - ext4 /dev/pmem0 rw,lazytime,seclabel
$ mount -o remount,nolazytime /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep lazytime
310 95 259:0 / /mnt rw,relatime shared:163 - ext4 /dev/pmem0 rw,lazytime,seclabel

Fix it by applying the SB_LAZYTIME and SB_I_VERSION flags from *flags to
s_flags before we parse the option and use the resulting state of the
same flags in *flags at the end of successful remount.
