[PATCH] xfs_repair: don't mark the fs dirty just because memory possibly be low

[Zorro Lang <zlang@redhat.com>]

When I run "xfs_repair -n" on a 500T device with 16G memory,
xfs_repair print warning as below:

  Memory available for repair (11798MB) may not be sufficient.
  At least 64048MB is needed to repair this filesystem efficiently
  If repair fails due to lack of memory, please
  turn prefetching off (-P) to reduce the memory footprint.

And it return 1 at last. But xfs_repair didn't hit any error, it
just feel the memory maybe too low(not real), then return error.
There is no reason to mark the fs dirty just because it thinks it
might *possibly* be low on memory.

do_warn() will set fs_is_dirty=1, if we only want to print warning
message(not real failure), turn to use do_log() will be better.
