From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0e24421ac431e7af62d4acef6c638b85aae51728 upstream. If the max_mds is decreased in a cephfs cluster, there is a window of time before the MDSs are removed. If a map goes out during this period, the mdsmap may show the decreased max_mds but still shows those MDSes as in or in the export target list. Ensure that we don't fail the map decode in that case.
