NTFS: Some utilities modify the boot sector but do not update the checksum.
Thus, relax the checking in fs/ntfs/super.c::is_boot_sector_ntfs() to only emit a warning when the checksum is incorrect rather than refusing the mount. Thanks to Bernd Casimir for pointing this problem out. Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cantab.net>
