Moved sanity check in lfs_format after compaction

After a bit of tweaking in 9dde5c7 to write out all superblocks
during lfs_format, additional writes were added after the sanity
checking normally done at the end.

This turned out to be a problem when porting littlefs, as it makes it
easy for addressing issues to not get caught during lfs_format.

+Littlefs is written in C, and specifically should compile with any compiler
+that conforms to the `C99` standard.
+
 All littlefs calls have the potential to return a negative error code. The
 errors can be either one of those found in the `enum lfs_error` in
 [lfs.h](lfs.h), or an error returned by the user's block device operations.
