Qu Wenruo e69bf81c9a btrfs: scrub: properly report super block errors in system log
[PROBLEM]

Unlike data/metadata corruption, if scrub detected some error in the
super block, the only error message is from the updated device status:

  BTRFS info (device dm-1): scrub: started on devid 2
  BTRFS error (device dm-1): bdev /dev/mapper/test-scratch2 errs: wr 0, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 1, gen 0
  BTRFS info (device dm-1): scrub: finished on devid 2 with status: 0

This is not helpful at all.

[CAUSE]
Unlike data/metadata error reporting, there is no visible report in
kernel dmesg to report supper block errors.

In fact, return value of scrub_checksum_super() is intentionally
skipped, thus scrub_handle_errored_block() will never be called for
super blocks.

[FIX]
Make super block errors to output an error message, now the full
dmesg would looks like this:

  BTRFS info (device dm-1): scrub: started on devid 2
  BTRFS warning (device dm-1): super block error on device /dev/mapper/test-scratch2, physical 67108864
  BTRFS error (device dm-1): bdev /dev/mapper/test-scratch2 errs: wr 0, rd 0, flush 0, corrupt 1, gen 0
  BTRFS info (device dm-1): scrub: finished on devid 2 with status: 0
  BTRFS info (device dm-1): scrub: started on devid 2

This fix involves:

- Move the super_errors reporting to scrub_handle_errored_block()
  This allows the device status message to show after the super block
  error message.
  But now we no longer distinguish super block corruption and generation
  mismatch, now all counted as corruption.

- Properly check the return value from scrub_checksum_super()
- Add extra super block error reporting for scrub_print_warning().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
