[PATCH 1/2] xfs: disable swap extents ioctl on CRC enabled filesystems

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Currently, swapping extents from one inode to another is a simple
act of switching data and attribute forks from one inode to another.
This, unfortunately in no longer so simple with CRC enabled
filesystems as there is owner information embedded into the BMBT
blocks that are swapped between inodes. Hence swapping the forks
between inodes results in the inodes having mapping blocks that
point to the wrong owner and hence are considered corrupt.

To fix this we need an extent tree block or record based swap
algorithm so that the BMBT block owner information can be updated
atomically in the swap transaction. This is a significant piece of
new work, so for the moment simply don't allow swap extent
operations to succeed on CRC enabled filesystems.
