ntfs: restore $MFT mirror contents check

Browse Source 
check_mft_mirror() still computes the number of bytes to validate in each
mirrored MFT record, but the actual comparison against $MFTMirr was dropped
when the superblock code was updated.

As a result, mount misses a stale or inconsistent $MFTMirr as long as both
records pass the structural baad-record checks. Restore the comparison and
log an error when the primary $MFT record differs from its mirror copy.

Returning false lets the existing mount error handling mark the volume as
having NTFS errors and, with on_errors=remount-ro, continue read-only. The
default on_errors=continue mount policy still allows the mount to proceed.
