Subject: [PATCH 26/44] fsck.gfs pass2: Only delete metadata if "bad" (not
 "invalid") inode

In pass2, all metadata was deleted for inodes that were marked either
"bad" or "invalid" but that is wrong, and here is why:
Blocks marked "invalid" were invalidated due to duplicate block references.
Pass1b should have already taken care of deleting their metadata, so in pass2
we only need to delete the directory entries pointing to them.  We delete the
metadata in pass1b because we need to eliminate the inode referencing the
duplicate-referenced block from the list of candidates to keep.  So we have a
delete-as-we-go policy.  Blocks marked "bad" need to have their entire
metadata tree deleted.
