This is pretty ugly.  Even if this is how the old gfs2meta filesystem
worked I would prefer to only allow it if mounted as type gfs2meta, not
for normal gfs2 mount and gradually phase it out.

	if (gfs2_is_meta_fs(data))
		mnt->mnt_root = dget(sdp->sd_master_dir);
	else
		mnt->mnt_root = dget(sdp->sd_root_dir);

would be a lot more readable..
