xfs: fix an inode lookup race in xchk_get_inode
In commit d658e, we tried to improve the robustnes of xchk_get_inode in the face of EINVAL returns from iget by calling xfs_imap to see if the inobt itself thinks that the inode is allocated. Unfortunately, that commit didn't consider the possibility that the inode gets allocated after iget but before imap. In this case, the imap call will succeed, but we turn that into a corruption error and tell userspace the inode is corrupt. Avoid this false corruption report by grabbing the AGI header and retrying the iget before calling imap. If the iget succeeds, we can proceed with the usual scrub-by-handle code. Fix all the incorrect comments too, since unreadable/corrupt inodes no longer result in EINVAL returns.
