hey Ted,

Turns out the stress-ng 'mknod' test and - less reliably - the
'dentry' test can tickle the "bad block bitmap checksum" bug pretty
easily. stress-ng wasn't *detecting* the error, but Colin has just
released a new version that does. We've been running with your updated
patch on 3 machines for several iterations, and have not seen another
occurrence.
