In ecbfb9f118bce4 ("dm raid: add raid level takeover support") a new
compatible feature flag was added. Validation for these compat_features
was added but this only passes for new raid mappings with this feature
flag. This causes previously created raid mappings to be failed at
import.

Clarification:
to allow for feature checks, the compat_features member was
in the dm-raid superblock from the beginning (so before ecbfb9f118bce4).
It got renamed from features to compat_features because incompat_features
got introduced with that commit together with the problematic check
of compat_features you thankfully found.



Check compat_features for the only valid combination.
