I'd prefer a core function that doesn't ERROR_REPORT, and a version
with the error report wrapped around the outside to replace the
existing users....

As above, I'd much prefer we don't copy-n-paste extremely similar
checks just to avoid a ERROR_REPORT. Factor out the error report,
call the common code here, make xfs_btree_check_block() wrap the
common code with an error report...

Somewhere between FSB 1 and sb_dblocks....?

Makes more sense.
