That depends on the flag involved -- if they're mutually exclusive, then
I think it's ok to do that, so long as there's a comment nearby to
document the argument semantics.

In the case of this particular flag (check_version) it is set by the
read verifier so that we reject versions that we don't recognize; it is
not set by the write verifier because we don't change the v5 feature
masks at runtime* and we never write anything if the fs won't mount.

For write_flag, the read verifier never sets it because we have to be
able to mount the fs in case the log contains an sb with an updated set
of summary counters or for lazysbcount filesystems we'll recalculate the
counter after recovery; and we set write_flag at write time, obviously.

So having come this far, you could meld them into a single parameter so
long as you note that write_flag == true means that we're writing the fs
and write_flag == false means we want to check the v5 feature flags at
mount time to reject features bits that we don't recognize.

* Oh, but what about that pesky asterisk?  My sense of paranoia wonders
why we don't check the v5 feature flags on write too, just in case
memory gets corrupted.  I think the reason is that we don't allow
feature flag changes at runtime, we'll check the changes at ioctl time
if we ever do support runtime feature flag updates, and we implicitly
trust memory not to corrupt memory on us (ha ha ha).

At this point my tldr opinion is "seems fine to me, let's see if any of
the lurking vacationers have anything to say?  We're still ~3 weeks to
the next merge window.
