Currently the superblock is created first, with a valid signaure, but the rest of the filesystem is missing. When the creation process is interrupted, the filesystem still might be considered as valid. To prevent that, create the filesytem with an invalid signature that would be still recognized during the mkfs process, and finalize at the end.
