Subject: [PATCH 06/74] tune2fs: forbid changing uuid on an uninit_bg filesystem

The old uninit_bg checksums depend on the UUID, so prohibit changes to
the UUID if a checksumming filesystem is mounted, because this
introduces a nasty race where the kernel and tune2fs are both trying
to rewrite group descriptors at the same time, with different ideas
about what the UUID is.
