I'm not sure this is implemented the right way. Why is it unconditional?
Does any subsequent mount have to clear and set the bits after it has
been already? Or what if the free space tree is set at mkfs time, which
is now the default.

Next, remounting v1->v2 does more things, like removing the v1 tree if
it exists. And due to some bugs there are more bits for free space tree
to be set like FREE_SPACE_TREE_VALID.  So I don't thing this patch
covers all cases for the v2.
