[XFS] Barriers need to be dynamically checked and switched off
If the underlying block device suddenly stops supporting barriers, we need
to handle the -EOPNOTSUPP error in a sane manner rather than shutting
down the filesystem. If we get this error, clear the barrier flag, reissue
the I/O, and tell the world bad things are occurring.
