…t metadata_csum_seed

It will be some time before we can support metadata_csum_seed in grub
on all our target platforms. This commit adds a workaround for the case
where grub doesn't support it yet. We specifically workaround the
behavior of tune2fs that isn't sensitive to timing inconsistencies.

See coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker#735 (comment)
