xfs_repair doesn't ever check an inode's CRC, so it never repairs
them. If the root inode or realtime inodes have bad crcs, the
fs won't even mount and can't be fixed (without using xfs_db).
It's fairly straightforward to just test the inode CRC before
we do any other checking or modification of the inode, once we
get past the "verify only" phase of process_dinode_int();
just mark it dirty if it's wrong and needs to be re-written.

Resend of patch from a while ago, but with CRC verification
now earlier in the function, prior to any changes are made.
