Currently there are a few ways mkfs options are specified in XFSQA:
1) suite wide MKFS_OPTIONS are specified before tests are run
e.g.
vimes:/home/fsgqa/kali/xfsqa/xfstests # export MKFS_OPTIONS="-l size=100m"
2) test wide MKFS_OPTIONS are specified during a particular test
e.g. 119
export MKFS_OPTIONS="-l version=2,size=1200b,su=64k"
3) mkfs options are appended by a test at mkfs time
e.g. 083
_scratch_mkfs_xfs -dsize=$fsz,agcount=$ags >>$seq.full
(4) Another form of appending is just appending to MKFS_OPTIONS directly
e.g. 114:export MKFS_OPTIONS="$MKFS_OPTIONS -i parent=1"
115:export MKFS_OPTIONS="$MKFS_OPTIONS -i paths=1"
Conflicts between mkfs options specified with method 1 & 3 are common.
960377 XFSQA 041, 042 - mkfs fails with large log size MKFS_OPTIONS.
This change means if a mkfs fails where mkfs options have been appended by a test (method 3),
The mkfs is retried using only those options defined by the test.
occurances of method 4 (in test 114 & 115) are also changed to use method 3.
$seq.full logs the fact that a mkfs options conflict has occured.

append -i parent mkfs option using _scratch_mkfs_xfs -i parent...
rather than export MKFS_OPTIONS="$MKFS_OPTIONS -i parent=1.
this avoids mkfs option conflicts
