Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix journal_ioprio mount option handling

In __ext4_super() we always overwrote the user specified journal_ioprio
value with a default value, expecting  parse_apply_sb_mount_options() to
later correctly set ctx->journal_ioprio to the user specified value.
However, if parse_apply_sb_mount_options() returned early because of
empty sbi->es_s->s_mount_opts, the correct journal_ioprio value was
never set.

This patch fixes __ext4_super() to only use the default value if the
user has not specified any value for journal_ioprio.

Similarly, the remount behavior was to either use journal_ioprio
value specified during initial mount, or use the default value
irrespective of the journal_ioprio value specified during remount.
This patch modifies this to first check if a new value for ioprio
has been passed during remount and apply it. Incase, no new value is
passed, use the value specified during initial mount.
