Subject: [PATCH 5.18 1016/1095] btrfs: properly flag filesystem with BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_BIG_METADATA

From: Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit e26b04c4c91925dba57324db177a24e18e2d0013 ]

Commit 6f93e834fa7c seemingly inadvertently moved the code responsible
for flagging the filesystem as having BIG_METADATA to a place where
setting the flag was essentially lost. This means that
filesystems created with kernels containing this bug (starting with 5.15)
can potentially be mounted by older (pre-3.4) kernels. In reality
chances for this happening are low because there are other incompat
flags introduced in the mean time. Still the correct behavior is to set
INCOMPAT_BIG_METADATA flag and persist this in the superblock.

Fixes: 6f93e834fa7c ("btrfs: fix upper limit for max_inline for page size 64K")
