Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 2 17:14:07 2020 -0800 xfs: fix scrub flagging rtinherit even if there is no rt device [ Upstream commit c1f6b1ac00756a7108e5fcb849a2f8230c0b62a5 ] The kernel has always allowed directories to have the rtinherit flag set, even if there is no rt device, so this check is wrong.
