xfs: dirent dtype presence is dependent on directory magic numbers



The determination of whether a directory entry contains a dtype
field originally was dependent on the filesystem having CRCs
enabled. This meant that the format for dtype beign enabled could be
determined by checking the directory block magic number rather than
doing a feature bit check. This was useful in that it meant that we
didn't need to pass a struct xfs_mount around to functions that
were already supplied with a directory block header.

Unfortunately, the introduction of dtype fields into the v4
structure via a feature bit meant this "use the directory block
magic number" method of discriminating the dirent entry sizes is
broken. Hence we need to convert the places that use magic number
checks to use feature bit checks so that they work correctly and not
by chance.

The current code works on v4 filesystems only because the dirent
size roundup covers the extra byte needed by the dtype field in the
places where this problem occurs.
