For me initial mount -o options didn't apply these options. Then mount -o
remount,options applied these.

Well, it fixes my initial case where initial mount failed to apply options.

Just tested with invalid options.

[ 18.518529] proc: unrecognized mount option "crap" or missing value

but there is another problem - unmounting it and mounting without options
causes old option to persist:

# mount none /proc -t proc -o hidepid=2
# umount /proc
# mount none /proc -t proc
# grep "/proc" /proc/mounts
none /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0

There should be no hidepid=2 now.

So this changelog doesn't match what I saw.
