[XFS] Fix regression introduced by remount fixup
Logically we would return an error in xfs_fs_remount code to prevent users from believing they might have changed mount options using remount which can't be changed. But unfortunately mount(8) adds all options from mtab and fstab to the mount arguments in some cases so we can't blindly reject options, but have to check for each specified option if it actually differs from the currently set option and only reject it if that's the case. Until that is implemented we return success for every remount request, and silently ignore all options that we can't actually change.
