Feature flags are tri-state:

* disabled - the feature cannot be used in the pool.
* enabled (but inactive) - the feature can be used, but is not currently in
use.
* active (implies enabled) - the feature can be used, and is in use.

The quoted piece of code prevents pools with redacted_datasets feature disabled
from receiving redacted streams, whereas the bug is about receiving redacted
streams in a pool with the feature already enabled (but inactive), resulting in
the feature state transitioning from enabled to active.

The boot loader rejects the pool if a non-whitelisted read-only-incompatible
feature is active; enabled is fine.
