The value of s'def_hash_version is obtained by reading the super block from the
buffer cache of the block device in ext4_load_super().

Based on the existing information, it cannot be confirmed whether the superblock
is corrupt, but one thing is clear: if the default hash version of the superblock
is set to DX_HASH_SIPHASH, but the casefold feature is not set at the same time,
it is definitely an error.
