Subject: 6.4-rc2 xfstests-bld nojournal regression - generic/231

Hi Ted:

I'm seeing an apparent test regression on 6.4-rc2 while running the nojournal
test case with kvm-xfstests.  This is generic/231, which fails with 40%
reliability (or better) for me in 10 trial runs.  I'm not seeing failures in
the other test cases, including 0 failures in a 10 trial run on 4k.

The relevant output from 231.full is:

ltp/fsx -q -l 64000000 -o 65536 -N 20000 -S 12221 /vdc/fsx_file1

This test failure bisects to:  a44be64bbecb ("ext4: don't clear SB_RDONLY when
remounting r/w until quota is re-enabled").  Reverting this patch eliminates
the test failure (passes 100/100 trials).
