Note that mount(8) and libmount removes all selinux context options on
remount for kernels < 2.6.39 because SELinux context remount was
unsupported, so this SELinux disadvantage should be hidden for usual
use case.

Maybe we can also add another exception for SELinux to de-duplicate
the SELinux context options in the options string. It's not perfect,
but probably acceptable for SELinux -- I can do this for 2.22-rc2.
