ext4/jbd2's crc32c implementations will also need a fix like this for
{ext4,jbd2}_chksum.  Note that both of these modules call the crypto api
directly to avoid a static dependence on libcrc32c; this was done to
reduce kernel footprint for applications that don't need it.  (ext2,
ext3, and ext4 before the metadata_csum feature existed).
