The patch looks mostly good to me, but I really think it should be
split into two patches: one to do the formatting changes and code
consolidation, and then one that does the actual logic changes for
better error handling.  It's not easy to understand and verify with
these two different changes combined.

xfs_inumbers_fmt_compat will need the same treatment.

Where is the lastino check coming from?

Why not initialize bufidx and error at declaration time?

The old code moved on to the next AG here, why has this changed?
