Darrick called out in the previous version that this requires traversal
of the entire tree at mount time. Do you have any test results on what
kind of worst case mount delays we could be looking at here?

As mentioned in the previous version, I don't think we can just assume
that the finobt is always going to be small. The purpose of the feature
is to facilitate constant time lookups for free inode records in
filesystems with extremely large inode counts. The number of free inodes
at any particular time is probably just a question of allocation
patterns. We can hope that the inode frees are not fragmented across
records, but even then we still have to take the ikeep mount option into
consideration (which is probably an easy way to test this, btw).
