The sparse inodes feature is currently considered experimental. We warn at mount time from xfs_mount_validate_sb(). This function is part of the superblock verifier codepath, however, which means it could be invoked repeatedly on superblock reads or writes. This is currently only noticeable from userspace, where mkfs produces multiple warnings at format time. As mkfs warnings were not the intent of this change, relocate the mount time warning to xfs_fs_fill_super(), which is only invoked once and only in kernel space.
