Done.  FWIW each of these functions that gets split out has a nice big
comment above it now.

Ok.  I'll fix up that explanation and make the whole thing a helper
function.

Ok, fair enough, I concede. :)

I had simply thought that the convention was that in general we don't
let anyone do that, except for the the thing that deals with exceptional
situations.

It /is/ a hack while I figure out a sane strategy for checking the
summary counters that doesn't regularly shut down the filesystem.  I've
thought that perhaps we should leave the global counters alone.  If
something corrupts agf_flcount to 0x1000032 (when the real flcount is
0x32) then we're going to subtract a huge quantity from the global
counter, which is totally stupid.

I've been mulling over what to do here -- normally, repair always writes
out fresh AG headers and summary counters and under normal circumstance
we'll always keep the AG counts and the global counts in sync, right?

The idea I have to solve all these problems is to add a superblock state
flag that we set whenever we think the global counters might be wrong.
We'd only do this if we had to fix the counters in an AGF, or if the
agfl padding fixer triggered, etc.

Then we add a new FSSUMMARY scrubber that only does anything if the
'counters might be wrong' flag is set.  When it does, we freeze the fs,
tally up all the counters and reservations, and fix the counters if we
can.  Then unfreeze and exit.  This way we're not locking the entire
filesystem every time scrub runs, but we have a way to fix the global
counters if we need to.  Granted, figuring out the total amount of
incore reservation might not be quick.

The other repair functions no longer need xfs_repair_mod_fdblocks; if
they has to make a correction to any of the per-ag free counters all
they do is set the "wrong counters" flag.
