Subject: tmpfs: fix the issue that the mount and remount results are inconsistent.
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2022 20:43:24 +0800

An undefined-behavior issue has not been completely fixed since commit
d14f5efadd84 ("tmpfs: fix undefined-behaviour in shmem_reconfigure()"). 
In the commit, check in the shmem_reconfigure() is added in remount
process to avoid the Ubsan problem.  However, the check is not added to
the mount process.  It causes inconsistent results between mount and
remount.  The operations to reproduce the problem in user mode as follows:

If nr_blocks is set to 0x8000000000000000, the mounting is successful.

  # mount tmpfs /dev/shm/ -t tmpfs -o nr_blocks=0x8000000000000000

However, when -o remount is used, the mount fails because of the
check in the shmem_reconfigure()

  # mount tmpfs /dev/shm/ -t tmpfs -o remount,nr_blocks=0x8000000000000000
  mount: /dev/shm: mount point not mounted or bad option.

Therefore, add checks in the shmem_parse_one() function and remove the
check in shmem_reconfigure() to avoid this problem.
