ext4: unconditionally enable the i_version counter

Browse source

The original i_version implementation was pretty expensive, requiring a
log flush on every change. Because of this, it was gated behind a mount
option (implemented via the MS_I_VERSION mountoption flag).

Commit ae5e165d85 (fs: new API for handling inode->i_version) made the
i_version flag much less expensive, so there is no longer a performance
penalty from enabling it. xfs and btrfs already enable it
unconditionally when the on-disk format can support it.

Have ext4 ignore the SB_I_VERSION flag, and just enable it
unconditionally.  While we're in here, mark the i_version mount
option Opt_removed.

[ Removed leftover bits of i_version from ext4_apply_options() since it
  now can't ever be set in ctx->mask_s_flags -- lczerner ]
