It behaved the same as the default, because it looked the same as
"not set" to all the conditionals in mkfs.

0,0 should be allowed, to force mkfs to ignore any stripe geometry
reported by the device.

I am not sure what you mean by "forced conversion" - can you give specific
examples?

However, a stripe unit of 0 with a non-zero stripe width should probably
also be rejected, because it has no meaning.  I think it was rejected
before, and my commit accidentally allowed it again.

It probably needs another test added back in, to check for "both options
were specified, but (only) one was zero."
