The writeback rollback begins at:

and the GC rollback begins later at:

The common option rollback then contains:

The RW-to-RO path stops `cache_wb_task` and sets `need_restart_wb`, but
the sync error jumps directly to `restore_gc`. Since `restore_wb` precedes
`restore_gc`, this edge does not execute the writeback-thread rollback before
the old mount options and flags are restored.
