I suggested it last time around instead of calculating the same
constant on every inode allocation. We're already storing in-memory
strunct xfs_inode allocation init values in this structure. e.g. in
xfs_inode_alloc() we see things like this:

	ip->i_diflags2 = mp->m_ino_geo.new_diflags2;

So that we only calculate the default values for the filesystem once
instead of on every inode allocation. This isn't unreasonable
because xfs_inode_alloc() is a fairly hot path.

The only other place we might store it is the struct xfs_mount, but
given all the inode allocation constants are already in the embedded
mp->m_ino_geo structure, it just seems like a much better idea to
put it will all the other inode allocation constants than dump it
randomly into the struct xfs_mount....
