Commit f8b92ba67c5d ("mount: Add mount warning for impending timestamp
expiry") introduced a mount warning regarding filesystem timestamp
limits, that is printed upon each writable mount or remount.
This can result in a lot of unnecessary messages in the kernel log in
setups where filesystems are being frequently remounted (or mounted
multiple times).
Avoid this by setting a superblock flag which indicates that the warning
has been emitted at least once for any particular mount, as suggested in
[1].
