Ignore "safe" flag differences when e2fsck compares superblocks
Recent e2fsprogs (1.40.3 and higher) fsck compares primary superblock to
backups, and if things differ, it forces a full check. However, the
kernel has a penchant for updating flags the first time a feature is
used - attributes, large files, etc.
This is a bad idea, and we should break the kernel of this habit,
especially for the ext4 feature flags. But for now, let's make e2fsck
avoid forcing a full check and backup except when absolutely
necessary.
