[PATCH] repair: ensure that unused superblock fields are zeroed

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

When we grab a superblock off disk via get_sb(), we don't know what
the in-memory superblock we are filling out contained. We ned to
ensure that the entire structure is returned in an initialised
state regardless of which fields libxfs_sb_from_disk() populates
from disk. In this case, it doesn't populate the sb_crc field,
and so uninitialised values can escape through to disk on v4
filesystems because of this. This causes xfs/031 to fail on v4
filesystems.
