-EINVAL :)
If the user configuration depends on the values assigned to the master
preference (ie, when they have other reasons to move the master),
everything would boot fine, work fine but the preference values no
longer make sense. This may become apparant when booting the cluster or
only when something goes wrong.
Linbit changed those values on my request a little while ago. So if it
doesn't break in the first upgrade, it will break in the next.
