Subject: dm raid: fix compat_features validation
From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5c33677c87cbe44ae04df69c4a29c1750a9ec4e5 upstream.
In ecbfb9f118bce4 ("dm raid: add raid level takeover support") a new
compatible feature flag was added. Validation for these compat_features
was added but this only passes for new raid mappings with this feature
flag. This causes previously created raid mappings to be failed at
import.
Check compat_features for the only valid combination.
Fixes: ecbfb9f118bce4 ("dm raid: add raid level takeover support")
