That's an implementation detail. dracut does not promise that it is going
to put this in a /etc/fstab file. What if dracut directly decides to
use mount command.

mount -t <filesystem ype> -o <filesystem options> <device> <mountpoint>

In this case mount will fail if you decide to pass 0 and 2. For example
I tried following and it failed. 

mount -t ext4 -o data=ordered,0,2 /dev/sdb /mnt/wd-ssd1/

While following succeeded.

mount -t ext4 -o data=ordered /dev/sdb /mnt/wd-ssd1/

That's why I am insisting that we modify dracut man page and make it
explicit. fs_freq and fs_passno are not mount options. You try to pass
them as mount options, and mount will fail.

Or explicity use local variable names as fs_freq and fs_passno (taken
from fstab man page).
