If checksum root is corrupted, fsck will get segmentation. This

To fix this problem, we just did something like extent tree rebuilding.
Allocate a new one and clear uptodate flag. We will do sanity check
before fsck going on.
I'm a bit worried about recommending --init-csum-root, though in this
case there's not much else left to do. A filesystem with initialized
csum tree will mount, but reading non-inline data will produce 'csum
missing' errors.
Agree.

So this should prevent segfaults due to missing csum tree, fine. The
error message can copy what the broken extent tree reports a few lines
above.
And now that I'm looking at other extent_buffer_uptodate(tree) checks in
the function, for clarity, each root check should be done separately and
followed by a message that says which tree is broken.
Normally, extent_buffer_update(tree) is called after reading.
We need this in fsck is because we need reinit extent tree and csum tree.
check it again is to make sure root node has been setup properly and
fsck can go further..
The idea behind this is to do improve the error reporting and then
document what type of breakage can be fixed and how.
I'm CCing Chris, as this is a matter of design and direction of fsck,
more oppinions are desirable.
