As call read_mmp_block pass bh_check which value is NULL, then call
sb_getblk to get buffer_head. But mmp_block's buffer_head is already exist
 which also is uptodate. Lead to compare the same data.

This looks good, except that read_mmp_block() also releases bh it is passed
in case of error. So it can free buffer head which is still referenced from
EXT4_SB(sb)->s_mmp_bh and cause use-after-free issues.

I guess I would just get rid of sb_getblk() in read_mmp_block() and always
expect valid bh passed. The only place that passes NULL bh after this
patch is one case in ext4_multi_mount_protect() and that can call
sb_getblk() on its own. That way we can also simplify read_mmp_block()
prototype to:

static int read_mmp_block(struct super_block *sb, struct buffer_head *bh);
