s/-o remount,<options>/-o <options>/

So, it should look like:

---
The proc_parse_options() call from proc_mount() runs only once at boot
time.  So on any later mount attempt, any mount options are ignored
because ->s_root is already initialized.

As a consequence, "mount -o <options>" will ignore the options.  The only
way to change mount options is "mount -o remount,<options>".

To fix this, parse the mount options unconditionally.
