Public bug reported:
I have a number of subvolumes on a single BTRFS partition, the only
partition on the disk, but the compression options passed for the
subvolumes differ.
The correct compression is used when files are created, so that's all
working fine, the only issue is that issuing a `mount` command (with no
options) shows the wrong option.
In this particular case it shows that all subvolumes are using
compress=zlib:3, when in reality some are using zstd.
My (trimmed) fstab:

I don't know if mount is to blame here, it could be something lacking in
the kernel/BTRFS.
