Because I didn't want to modify the cursor state if the buffer
failed the basic checks (i.e. if (bad) {... return} branch was
taken) as if it is bad we aren't even going to try to repair it.
Hence marking it dirty for writeout when it might not even be an
attr block is probably a bad thing...

Here we are checking and repairing the buffer, so EFSCORRUPTED
detection doesn't provide any value - if there is a corruption,
repair will already handle it and fix it. Hence this is here to
catch a buffer with a bad CRC but is otherwise good (e.g. bit error
in usused/unreferenced space in the metadata block).

Oh, so it is. I missed that. Good catch! Will fix.
