I’m wondering how we deal with the case which is specifying same option
several times in a remount. More specifically current lowerdir=aaa and
specify options -o remount,lowerdir=bbb,lowerdir=aaa,ro then if we fail
at first different value, it seems we will break compatibility with mount
in parsing options.
