[XFS] Ensure "both" features2 slots are consistent

Since older kernels may look in the sb_bad_features2 slot for flags,
rather than zeroing it out on fixup, we should make it equal to the
sb_features2 value.

Also, if the ATTR2 flag was not found prior to features2 fixup, it was not
set in the mount flags, so re-check after the fixup so that the current
session will use the feature.

Also fix up the comments to reflect these changes.
