Subject: [PATCH 3.15 52/66] xfs: xfs_readsb needs to check for magic numbers

3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@...hat.com>

commit 556b8883cfac3d3203557e161ea8005f8b5479b2 upstream.

Commit daba542 ("xfs: skip verification on initial "guess"
superblock read") dropped the use of a verifier for the initial
superblock read so we can probe the sector size of the filesystem
stored in the superblock. It, however, now fails to validate that
what was read initially is actually an XFS superblock and hence will
fail the sector size check and return ENOSYS.

This causes probe-based mounts to fail because it expects XFS to
return EINVAL when it doesn't recognise the superblock format.
