Looks sensible, but maybe we need a pr_info_ratelimited to inform
the user of this case?
Why?  Now that I've established that the system administrator is and
always has been allowed to invalidate the extent size hints when
realtime volumes are in play, I don't think we need to spam the kernel
log about the admin's strange choices.

The only reason I put that xfs_info_once thing in 603f00 is because I
mistakenly thought that the only way we could end up with a fs like that
was due to gaps in user input sanitization, i.e. fs isn't supposed to be
weird, but it is anyway.
Ok:
