The reason why it is ignored on remount is that we cannot modify
JBD2_ABORT_ON_SYNCDATA_ERR on remount. Now that we don't really depend on
JBD2_ABORT_ON_SYNCDATA_ERR, we could indeed make mount and remount
consistent and probably just drop JBD2_ABORT_ON_SYNCDATA_ERR altogether
(and only warn in jbd2 as it used to be long ago).
