Debugging showed `SB_I_VERSION` was cleared in reconfigure_super() during remount due to commit 1ff20307393e ("ext4: unconditionally enable the i_version counter") removing the fix from commit 960e0ab63b2e ("ext4: fix i_version handling on remount"). To rectify this, `SB_I_VERSION` is always set for `fc->sb_flags` in ext4_init_fs_context(), instead of `sb->s_flags` in __ext4_fill_super(), ensuring it persists across all mounts.
