The "for inode" is still there in the message, so I do not think
there is a reason to remove it from the comment.

Is there a reason to remove the inode number from the message ?

Thanks!

For whatever reason, I was confused by this message and thought it was
referring to a checksum failure in the inode itself.  On the other hand, it's
helpful to map an EA block back to an inode, so perhaps the message should be
changed to:

"Inode XXX's extended attribute block YYY passes checks, but checksum does not
match."

Now that I look at the other metadata_csum checks, the failure message starts
with "@i %i..." so these two might as well follow the convention.  Sorry that I
seem to have strayed from it.
