If the file system needs to have the journal replayed, but definition it can't be freshly checked. So if the time when the file system was last checked (s_lastcheck) is before the time it was last mounted (s_mtime), force s_lastcheck to be before s_mtime. This is necessary to make sure some of tune2fs's safety checks work correctly after replaying the journal, since some of tune2fs's operations really require that the file system be self-consistent or grave damage can result.
