Commit Message

If we're going to have a fix for false root problems its a good idea to
let people know that there's a way to recover, error out with a useful
message that mentions the `-x` option rather than just assert.

Before

  xfsrestore: searching media for directory dump
  xfsrestore: reading directories
  xfsrestore: tree.c:757: tree_begindir: Assertion `ino != persp->p_rootino || hardh == persp->p_rooth' failed.
  Aborted

After

  xfsrestore: ERROR: tree.c:791: tree_begindir: Assertion `ino != persp->p_rootino || hardh == persp->p_rooth` failed.
  xfsrestore: ERROR: False root detected. Recovery may be possible using the `-x` option
  Aborted

Fixes: d7cba7410710 ("xfsrestore: fix rootdir due to xfsdump bulkstat misuse")
Signed-off-by: Donald Douwsma <ddouwsma@redhat.com>

---
Changes for v2
- Use xfsprogs style for conditional
- Remove trailing white-space
- Place printf format all on one line for grepability
- use __func__ instead of gcc specific __FUNCTION__

Nit: Second line of the if test has the same level of indentation as the
if body.

With that fixed,
