[PATCH] Don't set relatime when noatime is specified

Don't set relatime when noatime is specified

Since 

commit 0a1c01c9477602ee8b44548a9405b2c1d587b5a2
Author: Matthew Garrett <mjg@xxxxxxxxxx>

    Make relatime default

when a file system is mounted explicitely with noatime it gets both
relatime and noatime set. 

This shows up like this in /proc/mounts:

/dev/xxx /yyy ext3 rw,noatime,relatime,errors=continue,data=writeback 0 0

That looks strange.  The VFS uses noatime in this case, but both
flags are set. So it's more a cosmetic issue, but still better
to fix.
