xfs: allow the user to cancel repairs before we start writing
All online repair functions have the same structure: walk filesystem
metadata structures gathering enough data to rebuild the structure,
stage a new copy, and then commit the new copy.
The gathering steps do not write anything to disk, so they are peppered
with xchk_should_terminate calls to avoid softlockup warnings and to
provide an opportunity to abort the repair (by killing xfs_scrub).
However, it's not clear in the code base when is the last chance to
abort cleanly without having to undo a bunch of structure.
Therefore, add one more call to xchk_should_terminate (along with a
comment) providing the sysadmin with the ability to abort before it's
too late and to make it clear in the source code when it's no longer
convenient or safe to abort a repair. As there are only four repair
functions right now, this patch exists more to establish a precedent for
subsequent additions than to deliver practical functionality.
