Subject: [PATCH] e2fsck: delay metadata checksum in pass1

From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@...bao.com>

in __ext4_get_inode_loc, when all other inodes are free, we will skip I/O.
Thus, all of inodes in this block are set to 0.  Then when we scan these inodes
in pass1, we will get a metadata checksum error.  However, we don't need to scan
these inodes because they have been freed.

This bug can be reproduced by xfstests #013.
