[PATCH] xfs_repair: refuse to unset lazycount on V5 filesystems

Running "xfs_admin -c 0" on a V5 fs has unfortunate results.

Before:
versionnum [0xbca5+0x18a] = ... LAZYSBCOUNT,PROJID32BIT,CRC, ...
After:
versionnum [0xbca5+0x188] = ... LAZYSBCOUNT,PROJID32BIT,CRC, ...

The on-disk feature bit is in fact changed, but xfs_db reports that the
feature is still present. This is because xfs_sb_version_haslazysbcount()
ignores the feature bit, and always reports that the lazy-count feature is
present on a V5 fs.

i.e. the intent is that this feature is not optional on a V5 fs, yet we
still flip the bit on disk when asked. Not good.

So, document this, and error out if the user tries to disable lazy-count
on a version 5 filesystem.

(hm, xfs_repair should probably also turn the bit back on, if it's off on
V5? I'll save that for another patch.)
