xfs: preserve inode versioning across remounts
commit 4750a171c3290f9bbebca16c6372db723a4cfa3b upstream. [ For 5.4.y, SB_I_VERSION should be set in xfs_fs_remount() ] The MS_I_VERSION mount flag is exposed via the VFS, as documented in the mount manpages etc; see the iversion and noiversion mount options in mount(8). As a result, mount -o remount looks for this option in /proc/mounts and will only send the I_VERSION flag back in during remount it it is present. Since it's not there, a remount will /remove/ the I_VERSION flag at the vfs level, and iversion functionality is lost. xfs v5 superblocks intend to always have i_version enabled; it is set as a default at mount time, but is lost during remount for the reasons above. The generic fix would be to expose this documented option in /proc/mounts, but since that was rejected, fix it up again in the xfs remount path instead, so that at least xfs won't suffer from this misbehavior.
