Can you use the badcrc variable name here like in a few other places?

This needs a no_modify check.

Hmm, given how often we have this pattern and how easy it is do get
wrong, maybe libxfs_writebuf should do the no_modify check for us can we
can get rid of all this code?  Or maybe at least in a repair_writebuf
wrapper?  Not saying it should go into this series of course.
