In xrep_findroot_block, if we find a candidate root block with sibling
pointers or sibling blocks on the same tree level, we should not return
that block as a tree root because root blocks cannot have siblings.

Ok, but is this enough? Won't resetting fab->root like this mean that
we'd just reassign it to the next block we find at this level? I'm
wondering if we should maintain ->height independently and anticipate
that (height == <valid> && root == NULLAGBLOCK) means we couldn't find a
valid root. That may also allow for more efficient height filtering
during the query.
Working through this again, I think we could just set fab->root = 0
when we encounter this situation.  I think the two height checks could
be combined as well, so I'll retest and repost.

Roughly, I think this whole section could be restructured as:

/* Make sure we pass the verifiers. */
...

/* Root blocks can't have siblings. */
...

/* If we've recorded a root candidate... */
block_level = xfs_btree_get_level(btblock);
if (fab->root != NULLAGBLOCK) {
	/*
	 * ...and this no-sibling root block candidate has the same
	 * level as the recorded candidate, there's no way we're going
	 * to accept any candidates at this tree level.  Stash a root
	 * block of zero because the height is still valid, but no AG
	 * btree can root at agblock 0.  Callers should verify the root
	 * agbno.
	 */
	if (block_level + 1 == fab->height) {
		fab->root = 0;
		goto out;
	}

	/*
	 * ...and this no-sibling root block is lower in the tree than
	 * the recorded root block candidate, just ignore it.  There's
	 * still a strong chance that something is wrong with the btree
	 * itself, but that's not what we're fixing right now.
	 */
	if (block_level < fab->height)
		goto out;
}

/* Record the candidate root block */
...
