xfs: fully check the parent handle when it points to the rootdir
LOLLM noticed that the directory tree path checking declares the path to be ok if the inumber in the parent pointer reaches the root directory. Unfortunately, it neglects to check that the generation is correct. Fix that by moving the generation check up.
