After the migration to use fs context for processing mount options we had
a slight change in the semantics for remounting a filesystem that was
mounted with compress-force. Before we could clear compress-force by
passing only "-o compress[=algo]" during a remount, but after that change
that does not work anymore, force-compress is still present and one needs
to pass "-o compress-force=no,compress[=algo]" to the mount command.
Example, when running on a kernel 6.8+:
$ mount -o compress-force=zlib:9 /dev/sdi /mnt/sdi
$ mount | grep sdi
/dev/sdi on /mnt/sdi type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress-force=zlib:9,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=5,subvol=/)
$ mount -o remount,compress=zlib:5 /mnt/sdi
$ mount | grep sdi
/dev/sdi on /mnt/sdi type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress-force=zlib:5,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=5,subvol=/)
On a 6.7 kernel (or older):
$ mount -o compress-force=zlib:9 /dev/sdi /mnt/sdi
$ mount | grep sdi
/dev/sdi on /mnt/sdi type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress-force=zlib:9,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=5,subvol=/)
$ mount -o remount,compress=zlib:5 /mnt/sdi
$ mount | grep sdi
/dev/sdi on /mnt/sdi type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress=zlib:5,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=5,subvol=/)
So update btrfs_parse_param() to clear "compress-force" when "compress" is
given, providing the same semantics as kernel 6.7 and older.
