Subject: [PATCH 02/25] libext2fs: report bad magic over bad sb checksum

We don't want ext2fs_open2() to report bad sb checksum on something
that's not even an ext* superblock.  This apparently happens pretty
easily if we try to open an XFS filesystem.  Thus, make it so that a
bad magic number code always trumps the sb checksum error code.
