[PATCH 2/2] xfs/21[67]: fix mkfs log concurrency detection

"Darrick J. Wong" <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.fstests,org.kernel.vger.linux-xfs
Message-ID <20260520190112.GE9544@frogsfrogsfrogs>
From: Darrick J. Wong <[email protected]>

Both of these tests use _scratch_mkfs_xfs_supports_concurrency to detect
if they should be adding -lconcurrency=0 to the mkfs options that are
used to format a loop device.

However, this doesn't work in practice because of three factors: 1) the
scratch device could have an external log set up; 2) the loop device
does /not/ have an external log device; and 3) -lconcurrency isn't
compatible with -llogdev.

Fix this by creating a more general mkfs option detection helper and use
that once we have the loop device set up.

Cc: <[email protected]> # v2026.05.17
Fixes: ffc8bad17e5b2f ("xfs/21{6,7} Use default -l concurrency=0 on mkfs.xfs that supports it")
