Applied, thanks.  I've changed the patch slightly to also print a
warning if the MMP magic number and/or checksum for the MMP block
doesn't check out, and to print the error code to disambiguate between
the various failure cases.

One thing, from looking at the function --- it looks like it might be
a good idea if we were to move the call to clear_buffer_uptodate() to
*after* the sb_getblk() call, no?

Otherwise we don't reread the MMP block if it is already in the cache,
and it is the first time read_mmp_block() is called in a function in
fs/ext4/mmp.c.....
