Bad magic will still stop dump-tree, super block check is not affected
by open ctree flags.
The only way to block dump-tree is corrupted chunk tree, which mostly
makes the fs garbage.

Even root tree is corrupted, we can still specify bytenr manually to
salvage what we need.

The point here is still the same, for read-only operations where we
don't care about the cross-reference, there is no need to care about
extent tree at all, and skip block group item search could save us a lot
of time.
