Commit 5688978 ("ext4: improve handling of conflicting mount options")
introduced incorrect messages shown while choosing wrong mount options.
Firstly, both cases of incorrect mount options, "data=journal,delalloc"
and "data=journal,dioread_nolock" result in the same error message.
Secondly, the problem above isn't solved for remount option: the mismatched
parameter is simply ignored. Moreover, ext4_msg states that remount
with options "data=journal,delalloc" succeeded, which is not true.
To fix it up, I added a simple check after parse_options() call to ensure
that data=journal and delalloc/dioread_nolock parameters are not present
at the same time.

Thanks for this bug report and patch. There is an even simpler way of
fixing this doesn't involve adding an additional check in the code,
though. Just make the following change the table entry:
{Opt_nodelalloc, EXT4_MOUNT_DELALLOC,
- MOPT_EXT4_ONLY | MOPT_CLEAR | MOPT_EXPLICIT},
+ MOPT_EXT4_ONLY | MOPT_CLEAR},
I'll send out a patch which does this...
