xfs_info version 5.0.0 started using findmnt to find the filesystem to query. This change resulted in a regression of _scratch_remount when testing overlay over xfs. For example, test overlay/035, started to report: [not run] overlay/035 -- upper fs needs to support d_type Internally, '_overlay_scratch_mount -o remount' calls '_supports_filetype $OVL_BASE_SCRATCH_MNT -o remount' and with the following example mounts: /dev/vdf /vdf xfs rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota 0 0 /vdf /vdf/ovl-mnt overlay rw,lowerdir=/vdf/lower,upperdir=/vdf/upper... '_supports_filetype /vdf' returns false and reports: "/vdf/ovl-mnt: Not on a mounted XFS filesystem". Regardless of the change in xfs_info, which I proposed a fix for, there is no reason to test d_type support on remount. Therefore, fix the regression by skipping unneeded overlayfs mount logic on remount.
