On-disk format definition for group descriptor checksums

- EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM (0x0010?) - store a crc16 checksum in
  the group descriptor (s_uuid[16] | __u32 group | ext3_group_desc
  (excluding gd_checksum itself)).  This allows the kernel to more safely
  manage UNINIT groups.

Looks good to me.
