From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

The NEEDSREPAIR flag can be set on filesystems where we /know/ that
there's something wrong with the metadata and want to force the sysadmin
to run xfs_repair before the next mount.  The goal here is to prevent
non-repair changes to a filesystem when we are confident of its
instability.  Normally we wouldn't bother with such safety checks for
the debugger, but the label and uuid functions can be called from
xfs_admin, so we should prevent these administrative tasks until the
filesystem can be repaired.
