Subject: [PATCH 01/22] ext4: Create a new BH_Verified flag to avoid
unnecessary metadata validation
Create a new BH_Verified flag to indicate that we've verified all the data in a
buffer_head for correctness. This allows us to bypass expensive verification
steps when they are not necessary without missing them when they are.
v2: The later jbd2 metadata checksumming patches need a BH_Verified flag for
journal metadata, so put the flag in jbd2.h so that both drivers can share the
same bit.
