When mounting the ext4 filesystem, if the hash version and casefolded are not
consistent, exit the mounting.

Can we ever have DX_HASH_SIPHASH set up in the super block?  I thought
it was used solely for directories where ext4_hash_in_dirent(inode) is
true.
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().
Yes, I know.  My point is whether this check should just be:

if (es->s_def_hash_version == DX_HASH_SIPHASH)
	goto failed_mount;

Since, IIUC, DX_HASH_SIPHASH is done per-directory and not written to
the sb.
That seems right to me.  SipHash can never be the default because it's only used
on directories that are both encrypted and casefolded.
