should this go after the xfs_sb_good_version() check?

Seems like it's more of a fine-grained check on features for a given super
version, and should come after that check.

i.e. if for some reason XFS_SB_VERSION_NUM == 6, the root problem isn't
the feature set, it's the superblock version number.

And; would it be worth printing out what the features are?  I guess we have
no good existing mechanism for that, and could really only print hex values...
still, might be useful for bug reports...
