[PATCH v4 0/3] btrfs: Add write time super block validation

[Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com>]

This patchset can be fetched from github:
https://github.com/adam900710/linux/tree/write_time_sb_check

We have 2 reports about corrupted btrfs super block, which has some garbage
in its super block, but otherwise it's completely fine and its csum even
matches.

This means we develop memory corruption during btrfs mount time.
It's not clear whether it's caused by btrfs or some other kernel module,
but at least let's do write time verification to catch such corruption
early.

Current design is to do 2 different checks at mount time and super write
time.
And for write time check, it only checks the template super block
(fs_info->super_to_commit) other than each super blocks to be written to
disk, mostly to avoid duplicated checks.

Changelog:
v2:
  Rename btrfs_check_super_valid() to btrfs_validate_super() suggested
  by Nikolay and David.
v3:
  Add a new patch to move btrfs_check_super_valid() to avoid forward
  declaration.
  Refactor btrfs_check_super_valid() to provide better naming and
  function reusablity.
  Code style and comment update.
  Use 2 different functions, btrfs_validate_mount_super() and
  btrfs_validate_write_super(), for mount and write time super check.
v4:
  Change the timing of btrfs_validate_write_super() to handle seed
  sprout case, where the original superblock can be from seed device,
  which has a different fsid. Thanks Anand for exposing this bug.
  Only the last patch is affected.
