xfs: always warn about deprecated mount options
The deprecation of the 'attr2' mount option in 6.18 wasn't entirely successful because nobody noticed that the kernel never printed a warning about attr2 being set in fstab if the only xfs filesystem is the root fs; the initramfs mounts the root fs with no mount options; and the init scripts only conveyed the fstab options by remounting the root fs. Fix this by making it complain all the time. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.13 Fixes: 92cf7d36384b99 ("xfs: Skip repetitive warnings about mount options") Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
