Simply refusing to print any structure with corruption would
defeat the purpose of xfs_db, I think - it is difficult to
analyze a corrupted structure if you cannot examine it.

Today:

# xfs_db -x fsfile2
xfs_db> inode 128
xfs_db> write -c core.magic 0x4949
Allowing write of corrupted data and bad CRC
core.magic = 0x4949
xfs_db> quit

# xfs_db -x fsfile2
xfs_db> inode 128
Metadata corruption detected at xfs_inode block 0x80/0x2000
Metadata CRC error detected for ino 128
xfs_db> p core.magic
core.magic = 0x4949
xfs_db> 

i.e. we can read the structure and print the values even
if it is corrupted.

but with your change on the same damaged inode:

xfs_db> p core.magic
data corrupted or CRC error
xfs_db> 

That's not useful.

I think you need to find the root cause of the segfault, and handle
it if possible, instead of refusing to print any corrupted structures.
