Subject: [PATCH 5.18 738/879] ext4: fix journal_ioprio mount option handling

From: Ojaswin Mujoo <ojaswin@...ux.ibm.com>

commit e4e58e5df309d695799c494958962100a4c25039 upstream.

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.  If no new value is
passed, use the value specified during initial mount.
