This change looks Ok to me, but when I start looking through the users
of bp->b_error, I see examples like xfs_dir3_data_read() being called in
xfs_dir2_leaf_addname() where it looks like an error could bubble all
the way up to xfs_vn_mknod() and its callers.

If the intent is to use EFSBADCRC as an internal-only error to
differentiate corruption from crc failure, why not push this more
closely to the boundaries that we have already defined? For example, we
already convert positive errnos to negative at the internal/external
boundaries. Could we convert those to use some kind of
XFS_USERSPACE_ERROR(error) macro/helper that converts errors
appropriately?

Another thought could be to reconsider whether we still need some of
these extra warnings, as in the xfs_mount.c hunk below, now that we have
the generic xfs_verifier_error() messaging. E.g., if we could remove
those, perhaps we could snub out EFSBADCRC in or around the verifier
after it makes a distinction.
