Bug Description

The following documentation recommends using the `nobarrier` mount option for xfs.

https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ansible-os_swift/2023.2/configure-swift-devices.html

But the nobarrier option is removed from Linux v4.19 [1], and yields mount failures if specified. All supported operating systems of the openstack-ansible[2] uses Linux v5.x, so we should remove the `nobarrier` mount option from docs.

[1]: xfs(5) on Ubuntu 22.04. https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man5/xfs.5.html
[2]: https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ansible/2023.2/admin/upgrades/compatibility-matrix.html

    Remove nobarrier mount option from docs

    Swift stopped including this option in its docs in 2019, and recent
    kernels stopped recognizing it as a valid option, leading to mount
    failures.
