    Decided chksmb should always lock the base since it performs consistency checks

    So remove the -l option and just always lock it before checking it.

    chksmb: compute a message's data block count once

    The data-block verification loop re-evaluated smb_datblocks(smb_getmsgdatlen(&msg)), which walks every data field, as
    its bound on each iteration.

    Log Message:
    chksmb: report data blocks whose reference count doesn't match

    The data block check only counted free records in the allocation file
    and flagged active messages whose blocks were marked free. A block used
    by two messages but allocated once (cross-linked), or allocated with no
    message using it (leaked), went unreported; a cross-link surfaced only
    when the overwritten text happened to break a translation header.

    chksmb now counts, for every data block, the headers still allocated
    (deleted or not) that use it, and compares that with the block's
    reference count in the allocation file. Mismatches are reported per
    block and as "Data Block Reference Mismatches" in the summary, and the
    base is reported as having errors.
