Subject: [PATCH, RFC] ext4: Allow read/only mounts with corrupted block group checksums


If the block group checksums are corrupted, still allow the mount to
succeed, so e2fsck can have a chance to try to fix things up. Add
code in the remount r/w path to make sure the block group checksums
are valid before allowing the filesystem to be remounted read/write.
