Why do we care if remount succeeds or fails? That's not what the
test is exercising.

i.e. We are testing to see if the appropriate deprecation warning
for a deprecated mount option has been issued or not, and that
should happen regardless of whether the mount option is valid or not
for the given filesysetm format....

Hence I don't see any reason for changing the test to exclude
noattr2 testing on v5 filesystems...
