Subject: [PATCH] fs/ext2: Ignore checksum seed incompat feature
This incompat feature is used to denote that the filesystem stored its
metadata checksum seed in the superblock. This is used to allow tune2fs
to change the UUID on a mounted metadata_csum filesystem without having
to rewrite all the disk metadata.
But GRUB doesn't use the metadata checksum in anyway, so can just ignore
this feature if is enabled. This is consistent with GRUB filesystem code
in general which just does a best effort to access the filesystem's data.
It may be removed from the ignored list in the future if supports to do
metadata checksumming verification is added to the read-only FS driver.
