Orphan cleanup is currently executed even on readonly mount. It deletes inodes and frees blocks, which could be very bad for some RO_COMPAT features, SNAPSHOT and BIGALLOC to name two. Now the damage is done, because current stock kernels may corrupt future fs with readonly compatible features, when doing orphan cleanup. This patch skips the orphan cleanup if readonly compatible features would prevent the fs from being mounted (or remounted) readwrite.
