Hrm, maybe the code isn't quite clear enough here, or maybe the patch
should come directly before (16/22) read-cache: read index-v5 to be more
clear.

The flag is always set to 0 in read_index_v2, as the whole index is
always read and therefore it never needs to be reset.  With
read_index_v5 on the other hand the flag is set when the filter_opts are
different than NULL.

But thinking about it, the flag is actually not necessary at all.  The
filter_opts should simply be checked for NULL for the assert and they
should also be set to NULL on discard_index.  Will fix this in the next
version.  Thanks.

I'm not sure.  I think it doesn't hurt, as we discard the index when
we change the index_ops.  At the moment I can't think of a case where
where calling read_index() could be used when it's partially read
without discarding the cache first.  I'll add it in the next version.
