So there's a "user experience" change, now that you pointed out the
other check. If a filesystem with incompat bits set will be mounted,
this will say 'you have corrupted filesystem', which is not IMO what we
want to tell.
Tough the extended btrfs_check_super_valid could catch the corrupted
incompat bits, what we need at mount time is wording from the 2nd
message ("cannot mount unsuppported features").
I think that there should be a separate function that does the
pre-commit checks, calls btrfs_check_super_valid and also validates the
incompat bit.
