ext4: avoid modifying checksum fields directly during checksum verification
commit b47820edd1634dc1208f9212b7ecfb4230610a23 upstream.
We temporally change checksum fields in buffers of some types of
metadata into '0' for verifying the checksum values. By doing this
without locking the buffer, some metadata's checksums, which are
being committed or written back to the storage, could be damaged.
In our test, several metadata blocks were found with damaged metadata
checksum value during recovery process. When we only verify the
checksum value, we have to avoid modifying checksum fields directly.
