Subject: [BUG] e2fsprogs: e2fsck -b outputs checksum warnings

Hi,

With e2fsck -b option, we can use an alternative
superblock instead of the normal superblock.
However it shows some warnings, especially checksum warnings
appear when we do e2fsck -b every time.

Test environment:
- kernel 3.1.0-rc3
- e2fsprogs (commit:d4c0d8e5b858cdf3d3000f2b3fca532787f34a02)

# mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda8
# e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda8
e2fsck 1.42-WIP (02-Jul-2011)
