* [PATCH, RFC] xfs: don't verify checksum on non-V5 superblocks

The current test in xfs_sb_read_verify() will attempt to validate
an sb checksum if sb_crc is non-zero, even if the superblock is not
marked as being version 5.

This runs the risk of picking up random garbage in sb_crc for non-V5
superblocks; such garbage is known to exist in the wild due to prior bugs.
This will cause verification to fail for otherwise non-fatal reasons.

I'm not sure of the point of trying to validate a non-V5 superblock;
is there one?  Shouldn't this || be an &&?  (Can sb_crc validly be
0 for a V5 SB?)
