[PATCH 6/7] xfs_repair: check plausibility of root dir pointer before trashing it

["Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@oracle.com>]

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com>

If sb_rootino doesn't point to where we think mkfs should have allocated
the root directory, check to see if the alleged root directory actually
looks like a root directory.  If so, we'll let it live because someone
could have changed sunit since formatting time, and that changes the
root directory inode estimate.
