We encountered a segfault while testing the mkfs.xfs + iscsi.

(gdb) p bp
$1 = 0x0

```
void
xfs_log_sb(
        struct xfs_trans        *tp)
{
        // iscsi offline
        ...
        // failed to read sb, bp = NULL
        struct xfs_buf          *bp = xfs_trans_getsb(tp);
        ...
}
```

When writing data to sb, if the device is abnormal at this time,
the bp may be empty. Using it without checking will result in
a segfault.

So it's necessary to ensure that the superblock has been cached.

prepare_devices() already creates an uncached xfs_buf for the
superblock.  Why not reuse that instead of rereading the buffer here?

...and then we don't have read it yet again down here to clear the
sb_inprogress field?
