xfs: add buffer pre-write callback
Add a callback to the buffer write path to enable verification of the buffer and CRC calculation prior to issuing the write to the underlying storage. If the callback function detects some kind of failure or error condition, it must mark the buffer with an error so that the caller can take appropriate action. In the case of xfs_buf_ioapply(), a corrupt metadta buffer willt rigger a shutdown of the filesystem, because something is clearly wrong and we can't allow corrupt metadata to be written to disk.
