From: Darrick J. Wong djwong@kernel.org
The deprecation of the 'attr2' mount option in 6.18 wasn't entirely successful because nobody noticed that the kernel never printed a warning about attr2 being set in fstab if the only xfs filesystem is the root fs; the initramfs mounts the root fs with no mount options; and the init scripts only conveyed the fstab options by remounting the root fs.
Fix this by making it complain all the time.
