Wow. I did not notice this commit doing the same job by Qu. But I have
tested the latest linux-6.1 rc-7, and it's still able to mount a unsupported
comat-ro btrfs as read-write via remount.

It's caused by the follow-up commit d7f67ac9a928 ("btrfs: relax
block-group-tree feature dependency checks"). This commit checks read-
only with the current superblock, which will always pass in the situation
remounting from read-only to read-write. It seems `btrfs_check_features()`
cannot cover this scenario.

        if (compat_ro_unsupp && !sb_rdonly(sb)) {
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks,
C.C.Cheng
