The idea is to encode the limitations that are always enforced in
parsing code (i.e. options that can never change or that can only
changed from NULL) and do the rest of the dependency checks
in outer (remount) code.

What you gain is shorter and more generic code to print the error:
"overlayfs: option %s cannot be changed on remount"
AND
"overlayfs: option %s cannot be added on remount"

Thanks,
