zhangyi (F) d9befedaaf ext4: clear buffer verified flag if read meta block from disk
The metadata buffer is no longer trusted after we read it from disk
again because it is not uptodate for some reasons (e.g. failed to write
back). Otherwise we may get below memory corruption problem in
ext4_ext_split()->memset() if we read stale data from the newly
allocated extent block on disk which has been failed to async write
out but miss verify again since the verified bit has already been set
on the buffer.

Fix this by clearing buffer's verified bit if we read meta block from
disk again.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
