Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 16.10 installer sets metadata_csum option on ext4 partition which
is incompatible with other LTS Ubuntu versions (12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS,
16.04 LTS).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download Ubuntu 16.10 installation media.
2. Install Ubuntu.
3. Try to do fsck -fy /dev/sdX1 from other supported Ubuntu distro.

Expected results:
User can check and fix errors on ext4 filesystem, created on Ubuntu 16.10.

Actual results:
User can not check and fix errors on ext4 filesystem because of lack of 
'metadata_csum' option in previous LTS Ubuntu versions.
The only one working solution was to scan from 16.10 live install media.

Note:
it is known, that Dan Watkins disabled metadata_csum when creating ext4 
filesystems ( see 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~daniel-thewatkins/maas-images/fix-yakkety-builds/revision/305
 ). It is good solution.
