Due to the issue of mounting filesystem with older kernels and
potentially reading sb_features2 from the wrong location. It
seems the best course of action is to always make sb_features2
and sb_bad_features2 the same. This is pretty important as
new bits in this are supposed to stop older kernels from
mounting filesystems with unsupported features.

If sb_bad_features2 is zero, and the old kernel tries to read
sb_features2 from this location during mount, it will succeed
as it will read zero.

So, this patch changes mkfs.xfs to set sb_bad_features2 to
the same as sb_features2, xfs_check and xfs_repair now also
makes sure they are the same.

Barry.
