This adds opts.recovery_pass_limit, and redoes -o norecovery to make use of it; this fixes some issues with -o norecovery so it can be safely used for data recovery. Norecovery means "don't do journal replay"; it's an important data recovery tool when we're getting stuck in journal replay. When using it this way we need to make sure we don't free journal keys after startup, so we continue to overlay them: thus it needs to imply retain_recovery_info, as well as nochanges. recovery_pass_limit is an explicit option for telling recovery to exit after a specific recovery pass; this is a much cleaner way of implementing -o norecovery, as well as being a useful debug feature in its own right.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
