[PATCH 4/4] xfsprogs: zero out clean log in xfs_metadump

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sandeen.net>]

When doing an xfs_metadump, if the log is clean, zero it out
for 2 reasons:

 * It'll make the image more compressible
 * It'll eliminate an un-obfuscated metadata source

If the log isn't clean, and the user expected obfuscation, warn
that metadata in the log will not be obfuscated.
