xfs: fix buffer corruption reporting when xfs_dir3_free_header_check fails
xfs_verifier_error is supposed to be called on a corrupt metadata buffer from within a buffer verifier function, whereas xfs_buf_mark_corrupt is the function to be called when a piece of code has read a buffer and catches something that a read verifier cannot. The first function sets b_error anticipating that the low level buffer handling code will see the nonzero b_error and clear XBF_DONE on the buffer, whereas the second function does not. Since xfs_dir3_free_header_check examines fields in the dir free block header that require more context than can be provided to read verifiers, we must call xfs_buf_mark_corrupt when it finds a problem. Switching the calls has a secondary effect that we no longer corrupt the buffer state by setting b_error and leaving XBF_DONE set. When /that/ happens, we'll trip over various state assertions (most commonly the b_error check in xfs_buf_reverify) on a subsequent attempt to read the buffer.
