PATCH 1/1 combined features2 fixup patches (updating/rewriting what was sent in other threads)

Ensure "both" features2 slots are consistent, and set mp attr2 flag.

Since older kernels may look in the sb_bad_features2 slot for flags, rather than zeroing it out on fixup, we should make it equal to the sb_features2 value.

Also, if the ATTR2 flag was not found prior to features2 fixup, it was not set in the mount flags, so re-check after the fixup so that the current session will use the feature.

Also fix up the comments to reflect these changes.

Probably should update XFS_MOUNT_ATTR2 here, not later. i.e. before we mount he log and start recovery.

Yep, makes sense.
