[21/43] nfs: dont lose MS_SYNCHRONOUS on remount of noac mount

[Greg KH]

2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 26c4c170731f00008f4317a2888a0a07ac99d90d upstream.

On a remount, the VFS layer will clear the MS_SYNCHRONOUS bit on the
assumption that the flags on the mount syscall will have it set if the
remounted fs is supposed to keep it.

In the case of "noac" though, MS_SYNCHRONOUS is implied. A remount of
such a mount will lose the MS_SYNCHRONOUS flag since "sync" isn't part
of the mount options.
