We have struct cache_sb_disk for on-disk super block already, it is unnecessary to keep the in-memory super block format exactly mapping to the on-disk struct layout. This patch adds code comments to notice that struct cache_sb is not exactly mapping to cache_sb_disk, and removes the useless member csum and pad[5]. Although struct cache_sb does not belong to uapi, but there are still some on-disk format related macros reference it and it is unncessary to get rid of such dependency now. So struct cache_sb will continue to stay in include/uapi/linux/bache.h for now.
