The mount i_version flag is not enabled in the new sb_flags.  This patch
adds the missing SB_I_VERSION flag.

Fixes: e462ec5 "VFS: Differentiate mount flags (MS_*) from internal
       superblock flags"

The problem is that the whole masking there is a piece of crap.

It assumes that MS_* and SB_* flags have the same numeric values,
which is bound to create a major problem rather sooner than later.

What we need is a separate __bitwise type for SB_*, translated them
here and treat them as a separate namespaces.

According to the original commit, separating them is just the first
step.  This patch fixes that first step so that filesystems can be
mounted with i_version.

Hi Al,

This patch fixes a regression.  Without it, you can't mount a file
system with i_version.  This obviously affects IMA.  Could you pick up
this patch and forward it to Linus please?

Commit dd924ea17c0c "vfs: fix mounting a filesystem with i_version"
can be found in my git repo.

thanks,

Mimi
