Revert "ext4: Remove journal_checksum mount option and enable it by default"
This reverts commit d0646f7b, as requested by Eric Sandeen. It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match. Quoth Eric: "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem. But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code. We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good power-fail testing with the fixes in place." See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14354 for all the gory details.
