    fs: indicate request originates from old mount API
    
    [ Upstream commit f67d922edb4e95a4a56d07d5d40a76dd4f23a85b ]
    
    We already communicate to filesystems when a remount request comes from
    the old mount API as some filesystems choose to implement different
    behavior in the new mount API than the old mount API to e.g., take the
    chance to fix significant API bugs. Allow the same for regular mount
    requests.
    
    Fixes: b330966f79fb ("fuse: reject options on reconfigure via fsconfig(2)")
