xfs: be more forgiving of a v4 secondary sb w/ junk in v5 fields
Today, if xfs_sb_read_verify encounters a v4 superblock with junk past v4 fields which includes data in sb_crc, it will be treated as a failing checksum and a significant corruption. There are known prior bugs which leave junk at the end of the V4 superblock; we don't need to actually fail the verification in this case if other checks pan out ok. So if this is a secondary superblock, and the primary superblock doesn't indicate that this is a V5 filesystem, don't treat this as an actual checksum failure. We should probably check the garbage condition as we do in xfs_repair, and possibly warn about it or self-heal, but that's a different scope of work. Stable folks: This can go back to v3.10, which is what introduced the sb CRC checking that is tripped up by old, stale, incorrect V4 superblocks w/ unzeroed bits.
