-I'm still somewhat confused about the following commit (which seems to suggest fsck in direct mode could actually checksum files):

- improve direct mode fsck
-
- An earlier commit (mislabeled) made direct mode fsck check file checksums.
- While it's expected for files to change at any time in direct mode, and so
- fsck cannot complain every time there's a checksum mismatch, it is possible
- for it to detect when a file does not *seem* to have changed, then check
- its checksum, and so detect disk corruption or other problems.
-
- This commit improves that, by checking a second time, if the checksum
- fails, that the file is still not modified, before taking action. This way,
- a direct mode file can be modified while being fscked.
