Subject: [PATCH] ext4: unconditionally enable the i_version counter

The original i_version implementation was pretty expensive, requiring a
log flush on every change. Because of this, it was gated behind a mount
option (implemented via the MS_I_VERSION mountoption flag).

Commit ae5e165d855d (fs: new API for handling inode->i_version) made the
i_version flag much less expensive, so there is no longer a performance
penalty from enabling it.

Have ext4 ignore the SB_I_VERSION flag, and just enable it
unconditionally.
