[PATCH] xfs_metadump: manpage fix regarding frozen fs

The xfs_metadump manpage states that metadump works
on a frozen filesystem; it does not. In fact, there is
no way to detect a frozen filesystem, so we can't make it
work, either.
So just remove this from the manpage; unmounted or RO
mounted is what is enforced by xfs_metadump.
