Qu Wenruo d7f67ac9a9 btrfs: relax block-group-tree feature dependency checks
[BUG]
When one user did a wrong attempt to clear block group tree, which can
not be done through mount option, by using "-o clear_cache,space_cache=v2",
it will cause the following error on a fs with block-group-tree feature:

  BTRFS info (device dm-1): force clearing of disk cache
  BTRFS info (device dm-1): using free space tree
  BTRFS info (device dm-1): clearing free space tree
  BTRFS info (device dm-1): clearing compat-ro feature flag for FREE_SPACE_TREE (0x1)
  BTRFS info (device dm-1): clearing compat-ro feature flag for FREE_SPACE_TREE_VALID (0x2)
  BTRFS error (device dm-1): block-group-tree feature requires fres-space-tree and no-holes
  BTRFS error (device dm-1): super block corruption detected before writing it to disk
  BTRFS: error (device dm-1) in write_all_supers:4318: errno=-117 Filesystem corrupted (unexpected superblock corruption detected)
  BTRFS warning (device dm-1: state E): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.

[CAUSE]
Although the dependency for block-group-tree feature is just an
artificial one (to reduce test matrix), we put the dependency check into
btrfs_validate_super().

This is too strict, and during space cache clearing, we will have a
window where free space tree is cleared, and we need to commit the super
block.

In that window, we had block group tree without v2 cache, and triggered
the artificial dependency check.

This is not necessary at all, especially for such a soft dependency.

[FIX]
Introduce a new helper, btrfs_check_features(), to do all the runtime
limitation checks, including:

- Unsupported incompat flags check

- Unsupported compat RO flags check

- Setting missing incompat flags

- Artificial feature dependency checks
  Currently only block group tree will rely on this.

- Subpage runtime check for v1 cache

With this helper, we can move quite some checks from
open_ctree()/btrfs_remount() into it, and just call it after
btrfs_parse_options().

Now "-o clear_cache,space_cache=v2" will not trigger the above error
anymore.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
