ext4: clear mmp sequence number when remounting read-only

tytso · tytso · commit 2dca60d98e24 · 2018-07-08T19:36:02.000-04:00
Previously, when an MMP-protected file system is remounted read-only,
the kmmpd thread would exit the next time it woke up (a few seconds
later), without resetting the MMP sequence number back to
EXT4_MMP_SEQ_CLEAN.

Fix this by explicitly killing the MMP thread when the file system is
remounted read-only.
