Needs a proper commit message.

Also, what makes this ext4 specific? Why can't it run on any
filesystem with a defrag operation?

please use $XFS_IO_PROG -c "falloc" ... for these operations to minimise
the number of external dependencies...

again, $XFS_IO_PROG -c "pwrite .." rather than dd. And use a fixed
pattern, so that the hash of the file is predictable.

$XFS_IO_PROG -c "fiemap" ....

md5sum is sufficient and faster for this sort of testing, and used
everywhere else in xfstests for this purpose. And with predictable
file contents, the output can be dumped into the output file like:

	md5sum $SCRATCH_MNT/test.$nr | _filter_scratch

And so we get file contents integrity checking from both the initial
write and the defrag command...

And this run_check can go away - just dump the md5sum again.
