Refactor all the places in the code where we try to render an inode
number as a prefix for some sort of status message.  This will help make
message prefixes more consistent, which should help users to locate
broken metadata.

This comment is a bit odd, the <suffix>: part seems to indicate something special
but presumably it's just part of the provided format ... although the function
is named scrub_render_ino_suffix so... ???

Also: can we do away with requiring a leading space in the format?  That seems
a little bit error prone and funky.

Could we call these scrub_render_ino / scrub_render_ino_message or
something?  That seems more clear to me.

Actually, why not just do away w/ the wrapper altogether and just call
it with NULL if you don't want more verbage.  That seems clear enough.

So maybe just:

/*
 * Render an inode number into a buffer in a format suitable for use as a
 * prefix for log messages. The buffer will be filled with:
 *      "inode <inode number> (<ag number>/<ag inode number>)"
 * If the @format argument is non-NULL, it will be rendered into the buffer
 * immediately afterwards.
 */
int
scrub_render_ino_descr(...

because that's how it's generally used, right?

How about this:

Refactor all the places in the code where we try to render an inode
number as a prefix for some sort of status message.  This will help make
message prefixes more consistent, which should help users to locate
broken metadata.

this uses a single function, scrub_render_ino_descr() with a new comment,
and automatic space-adding for any extra format.
