This patch adds proper check for it.

Thank you for the patch.  I think it looks correct, but I was
initially confused by the commit message.  I think something
like the following would be more clear:

     There is no check for allocation failure when duplicating
     "orig_data" in ext4_remount().  Check for failure and
     return an error in this case.


While I don't think it is (currently) possible for a one-page
allocation to fail (always true because of copy_mount_options()
used in ksys_mount()), I prefer to always check for allocation
failures in case this ever changes in the future, or if there
is allocation fault injection or other fuzzing turned on.

In any case, you can add:

Thanks for your review, I'll modify changelog in v2.

Thanks,
Chengguang.
