ext4_fc_record_regions() originally only used during scan phase,  and
set fc_regions_valid = fc_regions_use when getting a TAIL tag. Now we
also use it during the replay phase,   and need to update
fc_regions_valid in this case, because ext4_fc_replay_check_excluded()
uses fc_regions_valid for regions checking.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
