ext4: Add sanity checks for the superblock before mounting the filesystem
This avoids insane superblock configurations that could lead to kernel oops due to null pointer derefences. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12371 Thanks to David Maciejak at Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security Research Team who discovered this bug independently (but at approximately the same time) as Thiemo Nagel, who submitted the patch.
