Always apply the root flags on mounting, both when the superblock is new
and when an already extant superblock is being shared.
Currently there's a bug in commit b3678086951a5 whereby the flags are only
changed if the superblock wasn't new. The intention was originally to
effect the change for a new superblock by having kernfs_fill_super() call
back into the subclassing filesystem, but that never got completed.
On further reflection, it's possibly better not to do that so that we don't
have to revert the flag change if there's a later failure.
Fixes: b3678086951a ("kernfs, sysfs, cgroup, intel_rdt: Support fs_context")
