There's some inconsistency around SB_I_VERSION handling with mount and
remount.  Since we don't really want it to be off ever just work around
this by making sure we don't get the flag cleared on remount.

Agreed. There's a tiny cpu cost of setting the bit, otherwise all
changes to i_version also change some of the times (ctime/mtime) so the
inode needs to be synced. We wouldn't save anything by disabling it.
