[PATCH v2 1/5] xfs_repair: refuse to run if we don't recognize version or feature flags

 > Apparently xfs_repair running on a v5 filesystem doesn't check the
 > compat, rocompat, or incompat feature flags for bits that it doesn't
 > know about, which means that old xfs_repairs can wreak havoc. So,
 > strengthen the checks to prevent repair from "repairing" anything it

 > v2: Move the complaint code after the version number check, and print
 > the actual feature bits that we don't recognize.
